Özet
The uranium concentrations of the natural water samples collected from Northern Aegean Region, were measured by laser-excited fluorescence technique for hydrogeochemical prospecting. The reconnaissance survey measurements were made using external standards and detailed analysis realised with internal standard method to correct the quenching. Uranium concentrations for waters of all types range from below the detection limit of 0.05 ppb to 309.09 ppb and have a mean of 16.07 ppb. The precision of the method as shown by standard deviation is satisfactory. The laser-induced fluorescence method was applied easily and successfully in the uranium prospecting program and the data might indicate a uranium deposite in Saricaoglu Region.
