APPLICATIONS OF RADIOISOTOPES FOR NAVAL FIELD ESTABLISHMENTS

Abstract

Techniques employing radioisotopes were investigated in order to determine their usefulness to Public Works Departments of the Naval Shore Establishment. These techniques include: absorption, detection of location, and backscattering. The last mentioned seemed to be the most promising and offered several applications for waterfront maintenance. Several Naval Field Establishments were visited during the course of the work to ascertain problem areas.
