A METHOD FOR AERIAL SURVEYING OF RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS
Abstract
A method is described for the aerial surveying of radioactive elements from a gamma-radiation spectrum, using a scintillation counter and a multi-channel amplitude analyzer, and devices for deduction of the background and corrections for flight altitude. To increase the accuracy in determining the radioactive element content in a near-surface rock layer and automatically process the data during the flight, the measurements are made within a restricted solid angle, analyzing the spectrum by means of the narrow differential channels of the amplitude analyzer located at the sites of the characteristic lines of the gamma-spectrum of the respective elements.
