OSTI ID:4366957

Equipment for studying soils is presented. It consists of a radiation source, a device for detecting radiation after its absorption or scattering by the soil under investigation, and a probe containing the source and detector. Means are provided for displacing the probe (in particular inside a well) and for measuring and determining the intensity of the radiation detected at various positions of the probe, or, that of a parameter dependent on the intensity.
