A fluorimetric installation was developed for the determination of uranium at such low concentrations that it could not be determined by even the most sensitive analytical methods known. The new fluorimeter was adapted to measure the fluorescence emitted by the phosphor sodium fluoride -sodium carbonate -potassium carbonate -uranyl ion excited by ultraviolet light at 33,650 A. The fluorimeter gives a linear response for uranium quantities between 0 and 15 with a sensitivity of 0.001 of U. The procedure was used successfully as a routine method for uranium determination in very low grade samples. (auth)
