ABSTRACT:
A radioactivity borehole logging sonde includes a pulsed neutron source and a gamma-ray detector. A cylinder of a material susceptible to neutron activation is positioned about the neutron source before or after a radioactivity logging operation. The neutron source is turned ON to activate the material of the surrounding cylinder. After activation, the neutron source is turned OFF and the cylinder is moved to a position about the gamma-ray detector. The gamma-ray detector monitors the radiation from the activated cylinder as a measure of the output from the neutron source.
