Description/Abstract:
EVALUATION OF URANIUM DEPOSITS IS USUALLY DONE WITH DATA OBTAINED BY M EASURING THE RADIOACTIVITY IN HOLES DRILLED THROUGH THE ORE ZONES. PH OTO SHOWS AN AEC HOLE-LOGGING TRUCK AT CALIBRATION HOLES NEAR CASPER W YOMING. THESE HOLES WHICH WERE DRILLED BY THE AEC PROVIDE THE MINING COMPANIES AND LOGGING SERVICE COMPANIES WITH A COMMON POINT OF REFEREN CE FOR CALIBRATING AND COMPARING LOGGING EQUIPMENT. THE RADIATION MEA SURED IN A HOLE DRILLED THROUGH A URANIUM DEPOSIT IS RECORDED ON PAPER "STRIP" LOGS. BY ANALYSIS OF THE LOG AN ESTIMATE OF THE THICKNESS AN D GRADE OF MATERIAL ENCOUNTERED IN THE HOLE CAN BE MADE. IN ADDITION TO MEASUREMENTS OF GAMMA RADIOACTIVITY FOR GEOLOGIC PURPOSES MEASUREME NTS ARE FREQUENTLY MADE OF ROCK RESISTIVITY OR OTHER CHARACTERISTICS.
