General Overview of Mobile Sources Used for Well Logging and Industrial Radiography Applications
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Mobile sources is a term most commonly used to describe radioactive sources that are used in applications requiring frequent transportation. Such radioactive sources are in common use world-wide where typical applications include radiographic non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and oil and gas well logging, among others requiring lesser amounts of radioactivity. This report provides a general overview of mobile sources used for well logging and industrial radiography applications including radionuclides used, equipment, and alternative technologies. Information presented here has been extracted from a larger study on common mobile radiation sources and their use.
