A method suitable for plant cortrol was designed to determine (A) nitric acid in uranyl nitrate hexahydrate over the concentration range 0.3 to 0.5% w/w and (B) nitric acid in uranyl nitrate dissolver liquors over the range 0.1 to 5.0% w/v. With (A) direct determination of pH was found to be insufficiently sensitive but with both (A) and (B) satisfactory results could be obtained by potentiometric titration, The limitations of the methods should be clearly understood, and the method is not applicable to solutions outside the concertration ranges of HNO/sub 3/ and UO/sub 2/(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ specified.
