Application of the fission-track technique to the determination of uranium in natural waters.
A procedure for the determination of the uranium content of natural waters is presented. To 100 ml of natural waters, 200 ml of conc. hydrochloric acid are added and this solution is passed through a 6-ml column of Dowex 1-X8. The uranium is eluted with 60 ml of 0.1M hydrochloric acid, and the eluate is evaporated to dryness. The residue is subjected to the fission-track technique described previously. The uranium content of the river waters in Fukuoka City was determined.
