Spatially-Dependent Measurements of Surface and Near-Surface Radioactive Material Using In situ Gamma Ray Spectrometry (ISGRS) For Final Status Surveys

Description: In-situ, high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry (ISGRS) measurements were conducted at the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) field laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The purpose of these tests was to provide analytical data for assessing how “fit for use” this technology is for detecting discrete particles in soil.

Parameter Assignments for Spectral Gamma-Ray Borehole Calibration Models

Description: Abstract: This report documents the work performed to determine the newly assigned concentration for the spectral gamma-ray borehole calibration models. Thirty-two models, maintained by the U.S. Department of Energy, are included in this study, and are grouped into eight sets of four models each. The eight sets are located at sites across the United States, and are used to calibrate logging instruments. The assignments are based on in-situ logging data to ensure self-consistency in the assigned… more

Photoproduction of Beryllium-7

Description: From abstract: "The nuclide Be7 has been produced by photoactivation of Be9, B and C12 using the bremsstrahlung beam of an electron synchrotron operated at 45 Mev. Integrated cross sections for the formation of Be7 have been estimated by comparison with the Ta181([gamma],n)Ta180m reaction. The reaction C12([gamma],2p3n)Be7 has also been observed in irradiations at 30, 35 and 40 Mev maximum energy. Its yield has been compared with that of the C12([gamma],n) reaction at 45 Mev. The reaction A127(… more
