The Spectrographic Determination of Uranium 235. Part II. Using a Direct-Reading Attachment and a Hollow Cathode Source

Journal Article · · Applied Spectroscopy
The development of a direct-reading scanning technique, using a spectrograph with a hollow cathode discharge tube to excite the uranium samples, is described. For a determination consisting of ten scans on a single cathode containing the unknown, and ten scans on a single cathode containing a comparison standard, the precision obtained was from plus or minus 1.2 to 1.8% of the amount present over a concentration range of 8 to 12% U/sup 2//sup 3//sup 5/. All precisions are expressed at the 95% confidence level. (auth)
