Applicability of geophysical methods of exploration at Hanford Atomic Products Operation

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4071987
The applicability of electrical, gravitational, magnetic, seismic, and radiometric logging methods to the determination of the geological conditions at Hanford are evaluated for definition or delimitation of the sadalt bedrock surface, the surface of the Ringold formation, and the ground water table. The induction equipment, gravimeter, dip needle, magnetometer, and seismographs can be used to obtain bedrock information. The seismic techniques are the only geophysical methods by which the ground water table depth and thickness of the aquifer can be obtained at this site. (JSR)
