Title: Use of californium-252 in laboratory testing for moisture and density of soils. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7321758

Methodology for the identification and quantification of moisture along thin, discrete layers of opened and unopened soil cores is illustrated. A major portion of the work has been devoted to scanning of soils encased in a 2.875-in.-inside-diameter (ID) steel sampling tube. Some neutron film imagery, however, was also obtained to illustrate the distribution of moisture that can and does occur within individual soil samples.
