THE DETERMINATION OF THE TOTAL GAMMA-ACTIVITY OF SHORE SAND, SEA SILT, SEABED MUD, VEGETATION, SEAWEED, FISH FLESH AND NATURAL WATERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4840588

A method suitable for the determination of total gamma activity in area survey samples of shore sand, sea silt, seabed mud, vegetation, seaweed, fish flesh, and natural waters is described. The samples were converted into a suitable physical form for packing into one of two standard types of container. The total gamma activity of the sample source was then measured by a scintillation counter. (M.C.G.)
