ASTM C760-90(2015)

3.1 Silver-indium-cadmium alloy is used as a control material in nuclear reactors. In order to be suitable for this purpose, the material must meet the specifications for assay and impurity content. These test methods are designed to show whether or not a given material meets the specifications as given in Specification C752.

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the chemical and spectrochemical analysis of nuclear grade silver-indium-cadmium (Ag-In-Cd) alloys to determine compliance with specifications.

1.2 The analytical procedures appear in the following order:

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard and precautionary statements, see Section 5 and Practices E50.
