Measurement of radioactivity - Gamma ray and beta emitting radionuclides - Test method to assess the ease of decontamination of surface materials (ISO 8690:2024)

This document applies to the testing of surfaces that may become contaminated by radioactive materials. The ease of decontamination is a property of a surface and an important criterion for selecting surface materials used in the nuclear industry, interim storage or disposal facilities from which contamination can be removed easily and rapidly without damaging the surface. The test described in this document is a rapid laboratory-based method to compare the ease of decontamination of different surface materials. The results from the test can be one parameter to take into account when selecting surface coatings such as varnish or impervious layers such as ceramics and other surfaces. The radionuclides used in this test are those commonly found in the nuclear industry (137Cs, 134Cs and 60Co) in aqueous form. The test can also be adopted for use with other radionuclides and other chemical forms, depending on the customer requirements, if the solutions are chemically stable and do not corrode the test specimen. The test does not measure the ease of decontamination of the surface materials in practical use, as this depends on the radionuclide(s) present, their chemical form, the duration of exposure to the contaminant and the environmental conditions amongst other factors. The test method is not intended to describe general decontamination procedures or to assess the efficiency of decontamination procedures (see ISO 7503-1 to ISO 7503-3). The test method is not suitable for use of radiochemicals if the radionuclide emits low energy gamma rays or beta particles that are readily attenuated in the surface.

Nuclear energy - Nuclear fuel technology - Determination of neptunium in nitric acid solutions by spectrophotometry (ISO 13465:2024)

This document specifies an analytical method for determining the neptunium concentration by spectrophotometry, with spectrophotometer implemented in hot cell or glove box allowing the analysis of high activity solutions, with a standard uncertainty, with coverage factor k = 1 of about 5 %, in nitric acid solutions after the dissolution of nuclear reactor irradiated fuels, at different steps of the process in a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant or in other nuclear facilities. The method is applicable to sample from the process containing a concentration of neptunium between 10 mg·l-1 and 400 mg·l-1 and uranium concentrations of up to 300 g·l-1.

Nuclear fuel technology - Determination of uranium in solutions, uranium hexafluoride and solids - Part 2: Iron(II) reduction/cerium(IV) oxidation titrimetric method (ISO 7097-2:2022)

This document describes an analytical method for the determination of uranium in samples from pure product materials such as U metal, UO2, UO3, U3O8, uranyl nitrate hexahydrate and uranium hexafluoride from the nuclear fuel cycle. This procedure is sufficiently accurate and precise to be used for nuclear materials accountability. This method can be used directly for the analysis of most uranium and uranium oxide nuclear reactor fuels, either irradiated or un-irradiated, and of uranium nitrate product solutions. Fission products equivalent to up to 10 % burn-up of heavy atoms do not interfere, and other elements which could cause interference are not normally present in sufficient quantity to affect the result significantly. The method recommends that an aliquot of sample is weighed and that a mass titration is used, in order to obtain improved precision and accuracy. This does not preclude the use of alternative techniques which could give equivalent performance. The use of automatic device(s) in the performance of some critical steps of the method has some advantages, mainly in the case of routine analysis.

Postal services - Methods for proof of delivery of parcels to replace the physical signature

This document describes methods and requirements for proof of delivery replacing the physical signature, while being as secure and trustworthy as physical signatures. It applies to situations where the traditional, physical signature is required by the service to be provided and where this traditional physical signature is not required by regulation. It applies to parcels delivered to recipients by postal operators and Logistic Service Providers (LSP). This document aims to meet or exceed the level of confidence associated with traditional, physical signatures. The new proof of delivery process will ascertain that the item is delivered to an authorized recipient or receiver and also prove that the recipient accepted the delivery. This document includes only the delivery process (forward flow).

Agricultural and forestry machinery – Combined firewood processors - Safety

This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of firewood processors, designed to be used for making firewood. Firewood processors are combined machinery that cut and then split the wood. This document covers machines where the cutting is done either by a chain blade or a circular saw, and splitting movement is done horizontally or near horizontally by one or more splitting wedges. If cutting or splitting is done by other means, e.g. by guillotine blade or vertical movement splitting, this document is not applicable. This document is not applicable for machinery, where the wood is required to be moved from cutting to the splitting by manual handing by the operator. This document deals with firewood processors that are designed in a way that only one operator carries out the work process, but it is foreseeable that other operators, e.g. for loading or unloading, will work on or close to the machine. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to these machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. See Clause 4 for the list of significant hazards. This document is not applicable to machines which were manufactured before the date of its publication. This document is applicable for manually operated, semi-automatic and automatic firewood processors. This document is applicable to the following possible integral features of the firewood processor: - Integral outfeed conveyors - Integral infeed conveyors - Integral hold to run operated log lifting device Other accessories or added features of firewood processors are not covered by this document. These could be e.g.: - Separate conveyors or tables that are not integral parts of the machine - Other wood lifting equipment (e.g. winch or crane) - Other separate accessories of the machine, e.g. for cleaning the wood or packing the wood.
