1.1”This test method provides necessary information to determine the total amount of moisture (physisorbed and chemisorbed water molecules) in a plutonium dioxide (PuO₂) sample using a combination of thermogravimetric and mass spectrometric analyses. This test method is useful when performing analysis in cases where a maximum amount of moisture content in PuO₂ samples has been agreed upon by interested parties. For example this method can be used to determine the moisture content of some types of PuO₂ packaged to meet the requirements of DOE-STD-3013 (1),2 ”’Stabilization, Packaging, and Storage of Plutonium-Bearing Materials,”’ when such PuO₂ meets the specifications given in this test method (2).
