This document is applied to fuel fabrication. It describes the ceramographic procedure used to prepare sintered (U,Pu)O2 pellets for qualitative and quantitative examination of the (U,Pu)O2 pellet microstructure. The examinations are performed a) before any treatment or any etching, and b) after thermal treatment or after chemical or ion etching. They allow — observation of any cracks, intra- and intergranular pores or inclusions, and — measurement of the grain size, porosity and plutonium homogeneity distribution. The mean grain diameter is measured by one of the classic methods: counting (intercept method), comparison with standard grids or typical images, etc.[2]. The measurement of individual grain sizes requires uniform development of the microstructure over the entire specimen. The plutonium cluster and pore distribution and localization are generally analysed by automatic image analysis systems. The plutonium distribution is usually revealed by chemical etching or by alpha autoradiography. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) or a microprobe can also be used. In this case an additional preparation can be needed depending on the equipment used. This preparation is not in the scope of this standard.

This document establishes a method of using geographic location referencing (GLR) that can be used by relevant TPEG applications. The GLR type, defined in this document, is used for defining geographic location references (points, polylines and geographical areas). The GLR method is intended to be one of the methods that can be transported inside a TPEG-Location Referencing Container (TPEG-LRC) for those TPEG applications providing information for primarily geographical locations (e.g. weather). The GLR specification is deliberately kept basic and compact, so that it can also be employed advantageously in non-navigation devices, for simple TPEG services such as weather information, safety alerts, etc. As such, the GLR location referencing method is intended to be complementary to map-related location referencing methods, where the focus is on the referencing of anthropogenic artefacts such as roads and highways. For this reason, the scope of GLR is limited to geographic locations on the Earth’s surface.
