Radioactivity in Some Oil Fields of Southeastern Kansas

Description: From abstract: Radium-bearing precipitates derived from 'oil-well fluids have been found in more than 60 oil and gas fields in Cowley, Butler, Marion, Sedgwick, and Greenwood Counties of southeastern Kansas. The abnormal radioactivity of these precipitates has been studied through the use of gamma-ray and sample logs; by radiometric, chemical petrographic, and spectrographic analyses of the precipitates and drill samples; and through the use of chemical analyses of brines collected from oil wel… more

Radiometric Examination of Rock Specimens from Mount McKinley, Alaska

Description: Abstract: A suite of 50 rock specimens, collected by the 1947 Washburn Mount McKinley Expedition, was scanned radiometrically. The maximum radioactivity observed in any one of the specimens was about twice background. Radiometric analyses of the most radioactive samples show that a sample of vein quartz coated with manganese oxide contains 0.009 percent equivalent uranium and that the maximum equivalent uranium content of granitic rock types is .004 percent. The radioactivity of the manganese-s… more
