ABSTRACT
Numerous methods are available for the determination of uranium, depending on experimental objectives and the type of analysis attempted. In addition to conventional methods of fluorometric analysis, various other techniques are available, based on the radioactivity of uranium. The analyst is thus required to choose the most suitable of several techniques using criteria such as the degree of accuracy required, response time, cost of analysis, number of samples, etc. For the analysis of drinking water, another important consideration is that the method should effectively measure the radioactivity of uranium, which is not always proportional to the total mass concentration of uranium.
