SPECTROMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF NATURAL AND COSMIC-RAY INDUCED RADIOACTIVITY IN METEORITES
Journal Article
·
· Geochim. et Cosmochim. Acta
A nondestructive method of analysis of meteorites for natural and cosmic- ray induced radioactivity using lowlevel gamma -ray spectrometry of kilogram samples is reported. Results so far obtained are essentially qualitative but appear te be in agreement with previous chemical measurements of K and Al/sup 26/ in chrondrites and achondrites. Cobalt/sup 60/ was detected in the Ussuri (Sikhote-Alin) siderite (fell 1947) but not in old falls such as Odessa and Canyon Diablo. The rate of production of some interesting cosmicray induced activities is discussed. (auth)
