Abstract

Chronic exposure to uranium compounds led to the development of a methodology in order to characterize those compounds. This methodology, based on the recommendation of the I.C.R.P,1 involves three main steps: the measurement of the uranium concentration and the particle size distribution at workstations; the characterization of the industrial compound, i.e. its physico-chemical properties; and the study of in-vitro solubility using chemical and cellular tests. Different methods for uranium analysis are presented. Results and comments on UF4, UO3, U3O8, UO2 and U+UO2 are given.
