Geostatistics project of the national uranium resource evaluation program. Progress report, April 1981-September 1981

Description: During the period covered by this report, we proposed a method of comparing aerial and ground data as a means of assessing the quality of aerial data. We also compared two methods of partitioning count rates among several isotopes. Time-series analysis and analysis of variance were considered as tools for using aerial radiometric data to aid in designing ground-based sampling experiments. Several methods of computing covariance matrices were compared for use with very large data sets. A study s… more

Principles and characteristics of surface radon and helium techniques used in uranium exploration

Description: Studies were carried out to determine the nature of some of the surface radon and helium techniques used for uranium exploration. By performing radon and helium measurements at three sites with differing geology and accessibility, we were able to examine the constraints on the features determined. The sites are the Red Desert in south central Wyoming, Copper Mountain in central Wyoming, and Spokane Mountain in eastern Washington. The radon techniques employed were: zinc sulfide detectors, an io… more

Application of computers in a Radiological Survey Program

Description: A brief description of some of the applications of computers in a radiological survey program is presented. It has been our experience that computers and computer software have allowed our staff personnel to more productively use their time by using computers to perform the mechanical acquisition, analyses, and storage of data. It is hoped that other organizations may similarly profit from this experience. This effort will ultimately minimize errors and reduce program costs.

An aerial radiological survey of the Central Savannah River Site, Aiken, South Carolina

Description: An aerial radiological survey was conducted over a 194-square- kilometer (75-square-mile) area encompassing the central portion of the Savannah River Site (SRS). The survey was flown during February 10--27, 1987. These radiological measurements were used as baseline data for the central area and for determining the extent of man-made radionuclide distribution. Previous SRS surveys included small portions of the area; the 1987 survey was covered during the site- wide survey conducted in 1979. Ma… more

Modeling study of gaseous Rn-222, Xe-133, and He-4 for uranium exploration

Description: This work presents one-dimensional mathematical models to simulate the transport of gaseous radon-222 (Rn-222), xenon-133 (Xe-133), and helium-4 (He-4) away from uranium ore deposits. The resulting concentrations of indicator nuclides in the overburden are used to infer the detectability of ore deposits by emanation methods. In the case of homogeneous, non-radioactive formations, Rn-222 and some of its daughter products are calculated to be detectable at distances of several tens of meters from… more
