Average moisture content in an entire batch of molding sand is measured by a gage using a fast-neutron source. The moisture content of a 3200-Ib charge can be measured to plus or minus 0.05% at the 3% level in less than one minute. Film-badge and survey-meter results prove that the system is completely safe as long as the source is inspected regularly. (B.O.G.)
