Abstract
Aa americium-241 source was used in place of an x-ray generator. Examination of the spectrum of the americium source showed that, apart from a prominent escape peak in the region of 30 kev, the spectrum agreed satisfactorily with the previously published spectrum. With a modified source, the fluorescent spectrum of a 1% uranium solution clearly showed two prominent L-lines. The results of the analyses of uranium as a single component in 1.0 N nitric acid solution are tabulated and graphed. Taking the limit of detection nominally as one-tenth of background, the method has a detection limit in the region of 50 ppm. (P.C.H.)
