ASTM International’s nuclear fuel cycle committee ( C26 ) has developed a standard describing a new technique for measuring the forward rate of glass corrosion. The new standard (soon to be published as C1926) details the stirred-reactor coupon analysis (SRCA) method, in which monolithic glass coupons are partially masked with an inert material before undergoing corrosion in a large volume of…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Steve Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11649 ###

A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method related to the trash capture performance of stormwater control measures. The standard ( E3332 ) was developed by ASTM’s committee on stormwater control measures ( E64 ). According to ASTM International member Greg Williams, this is the second standard developed by the committee, and is a big step towards establishing goals and…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11470 ###
