REPORT ON URANIUM SOLUBILITY MEASUREMENTS

[Stephen McGuire <SAM2@nrc.gov>]

An efficient and accurate method to measure the solubility
of small quantities of uranium and other actinides is
described in a report recently published by the U. S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission.  The report is:  "Solubility Testing
of Actinides on Breathing-Zone and Area Air Samples,"
NUREG/CR-6419, by R. L. Metzger, B. H. Jessop, and B. L.
McDowell, all of Radiation Safety Engineering, Inc. of
Chandler, Arizona.

In a foreword to the report, the NRC states, "...licensees will
sometimes need to determine the solubility of airborne
radionuclides collected by air sampling in order to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limits in 10 CFR part
20.  This report describes research into a simple method to
determine the solubility of airborne radionuclides."

A limited number of extra copies of this report are available
without charge to people having a direct interest or
responsibility in solubility measurements.  To obtain a copy,
e-mail or telephone your request to Robert Metzger
at:	RMETZGER@IMAP2.ASU.EDU or (602) 897-9459. 
Your request should explain your interest in the subject in a
sentence or two.
