Full Description

This document specifies an analytical method for determining heavy water isotopic purity by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It is applicable to the determination of the whole range of heavy water concentration. The method is devoted to process controls at the different steps of the process systems in heavy water reactor power plant or any other related areas.

The method can be applied for heavy water isotopic purity measurements in a heavy water reactor power plant or research reactor, heavy water production factory and heavy water related areas.
