Abstract
Apparatus for detection and analysis of secondary uranium ores to provide signature indication of type by ultraviolet induced fluorescence and detection of fluorescence excitation time, peak value and decay time. The apparatus employs laser irradiation of selected terrain and telescopic detection at specific light wavelengths, viz. the yellow to green band; and thereafter detected signals are processed with specific circuitry to obtain and provide readout of the signature parameters.
