BS ISO 13166:2020

This standard BS ISO 13166:2020 Water quality. Uranium isotopes. Test method using alpha-spectrometry is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.280 Radiation protection
• 13.060.60 Examination of physical properties of water

This document specifies the conditions for the determination of uranium isotope activity concentration in samples of environmental water (including sea waters) using alpha-spectrometry and ²³²U as a yield tracer.

A chemical separation is required to separate and purify uranium from a test portion of the sample.
