This report describes briefly the operation and maintenance of an L/sub III/-edge densitometer. The instrument is optimized for 50 g/l of special nuclear material, but yields better than 0.5% precision in 1000-s assays over a concentration range of 10 to 90 g/l. It can determine uranium and plutonium concentrations in a 2-ml sample cell and has been designed for both static and flowing solution measurements.
