A fluorometric uranium analyzer has been constructed which although simple in design, gives measurements that are virtually insensitive to line voltage variations of plus or minus 15 volts and to threefold changes in lamp intensity. An RCA 5819 photomultiplier tube detects the fluorescent light from the uranium-sodium fluoride phosphor, and a second 5819 tube monitors the incident ultraviolet light. The output of the second photomultiplier is fed to a series regulator tube, which adjusts the voltage (and sensitivity) of both photomultipliers to compensate for variations in lamp intensity and line voltage.
