NDA technology for uranium resource evaluation. Progress report, January 1-June 30, 1979

Calculational effort has focused on gamma-ray cross-section conversions, feasibility studies of an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) probe, and simulation of the prototype photoneutron logging tool. Experimental effort has concentrated on the design and fabrication of a field prototype photoneutron-based logging probe, on two types of borehole water monitors, and on a commercial pulse-shape discrimination unit to be used with the photoneutron logging probe. 37 figures, 4 tables
