Uranium hexafluoride subsampling system

A uranium hexafluoride sampling system is currently being used at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (ORGDP) which (1) is low cost to fabricate, (2) is easy to maintain, (3) is convenient to operate, and (4) reduces risks associated with the use of high-heat sources (open flame torches). The new systems have been in use at the ORGDP for more than 15 months without substantial maintenance or operational problems. Use of the systems have not influenced analytical results and thus have the same quality of sample integrity as was inherent in the former systems. 2 refs., 5 figs.
