Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4177900
Thermoluminescence was determined for tuff from Rainier Mesa, dolomite and a quartz vein from Dolomite Hill, and granitic rock from the climax stock in the northern part of the nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nev. The study was made to determine which rocks are thermoluminescent, to explore the possibility of using thermoluminescence as an aid in correlating stratigraphic units, and to acquire the background information necessary to determine the usefulness of thermoluminescence in detecting or measuring some of the effects on rocks of nearby underground nuclear explosions. The results of the study showed thnt dolomite, granite rocks, and tuff are thermoluminescent. (W.L.H.)
