Summary

Mechanically stirred actinometric solutions of uranyl oxalate, sensitive to radiation below 4300 Å, are found to respond consistently to conditions of solar radiation which are met in Italy during summer, at elevations between 0–3500 metres. The instrumentation developed permits to monitor the course of radiation-dependent chemical reactions in solution, under sunlight.
