ABSTRACT:
A portable uranium analyzer employs a neutron source and a neutron detector for carrying out an uranium assay along the surface of the earth and a gamma ray detector for carrying out a natural gamma radiation assay along the surface of the earth. The neutron source irradiates the underlying earth formation along an exploration line in either a continuous scan mode or in a plurality of fixed assay points. Prompt or delayed neutrons resulting from neutron fission of any uranium present in the formation are detected and recorded during assaying. The uranium assay and the natural gamma radiation assay are correlated to identify formations suspected of containing uranium.
