Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) has been developed for real-time, in situ measurements of contaminant elements in soil. Pulsed neutron activation coupled with state-of-the-art high count rate throughput electronics and time-sequenced gamma ray energy analysis have been used to obtain sensitivities at the trace level for uranium in soil. The results of detailed neutron dosimetry and prompt neutron-induced gamma ray transport measurements carried out using a soil test matrix will be reported. Initial field deployment of the PGNAA system at a former solution uranium mine in Bruni, Texas will also be described.
