Neutron activation logging systems were used to prospect for residual saturations of carbon tetrachloride contamination at a nuclear weapons production facility. Logging was performed in wells near a former disposal trench, where up to 30,000 l were discharged between 1955 and 1962. The majority of this contamination has not been accounted for. To test for the presence of chlorine, a geochemical logging system was use to record capture gamma-ray spectra.
