Method and apparatus for detection of copper

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4326643
A method and apparatus is described for the detection and estimation of copper in on ore body whech involves irradiation of the body with a flux of fast neutrons to convert /sup 63/Cu to /sup 62/Cu, and detection and measurement of the 0.511 MeV peak in the gamma radiation emitted by the body due to the /sup 62/ Cu. A doubleshielded detector for monitoring neutron fluxes is also disclosed. (Official Gazette)
