Application and Operation of the 325 Building Well Counter

Well-type scintillation counters have found use in many radiochemical laboratories. A gamma scintillation well counter has been used to measure the gamma activity of liquid samples in the 325 Building counting room for about a year. This well counter has been built and calibrated so that gamma activity measurements made with it can be easily compared with measurements made with the gamma scintillation counter (GSC). The well counter is electronically identical to the present GSC and differs only in the shape of the crystal used and the physical arrangement of the lead shield. The crystal contains a well which allows a tube containing the sample to be inserted in the crystal. The physical arrangement of the detector greatly simplifies the preparation of liquid samples for activity measurement. The 325 Building well counter and its application to chemical research and plant process analysis will be discussed in the following paragraphs. An operating procedure is also included.

Reconnaissance Investigations for Uranium in the Colorado Front Range and Adjacent Areas, 1947-1951 (open access)

Reconnaissance Investigations for Uranium in the Colorado Front Range and Adjacent Areas, 1947-1951

Report discussing a geological examination to find uranium deposits in the Colorado Front Range and adjacent areas from 1947-1951. "The investigations consisted chiefly of spot-checking mine dumps, outcrops, and road cuts, and included examination of stream beds, mill tailing ponds, and radioactivity traversing of selected surface areas, and mine workings."
