Annotation of standard text ASTM C1462-21 :

This specification covers nuclear grade uranium metal that has either been processed through an enrichment plant, or has been produced by the blending of highly enriched uranium with other uranium, to obtain uranium of any 235U concentration below 20 % (and greater than 15 %) and that is intended for research reactor fuel fabrication. The uranium content of commercial grade enriched uranium metal shall be greater than or equal to 99.85 weight percent. The isotopic requirements for enriched uranium metal are presented in details. The chemical and isotopic composition shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed.
