By taking into consideration temperature differences between the glovebox atmosphere and the liquid, it was possible to make density measurements in gloveboxes by the hydrostatic weighing method with monobromobenzene as a liquid with an accuracy of plus or minus 0.005 g/cm/sup 3/. This is an improvement by an order of magnitude over the prior state. This accuracy allows structural changes to be detected in thorium--uranium and thorium--plutonium alloys. (auth)
