- What is ISO 16424 ‒ Homogeneity of Gd distribution and Gd2O3 content about? ISO 16424 is an international standard that discusses aspects of nuclear energy. ISO 16424 is applicable to the evaluation of the homogeneity of Gd distribution within gadolinium fuel blends. It also applies to the determination of the Gd2O3 content in sintered fuel pellets of Gd2O3+UO2 from 1 percent to 10 percent, by measurements of gadolinium (Gd) and uranium (U) elements using ICP-AES. After performing measurements of Gd and U elements using ICP-AES, if the statistical methodology is additionally applied, homogeneity of Gd distribution within a Gd fuel pellet lot can also be evaluated.
