lead to closely defined targets
- Preoperational data on radium in groundwater at Burns Uranium Deposit, Southeast Texas.
- Most values within the orebody >100 pCi/L, outside <10.
- Background reached in a few hundred feet.
- Normal background of 0.2 pCi/L from 486 samples througout U.S.
- Background from 915 well water samples from East Texas and Nova Scotia Carboniferous below our detection limit.
- Detection limit of 2 pCi/L readily available in field lab.
- Radium is less mobile than uranium or radon.
INSTRUMENTS
- We measure: radon - radium - thoron - radon daughters - alpha radiation.
- The Lucas cell is recognized as the most sensitive and reliable method for these elements.
- Our instruments are used around the world in exploration for uranium, oil & gas, groundwater and hydrothermal, and in environmental protection, health physics, earthquake prediction, and evaluation of hydrocarbon and NAPL contamination.
- In the radon business since 1968, our latest major instrument update was 2015.
- Modern, low-power, field-rugged electronics. Some earlier versions still working after 35 years.
- Continuous real-time monitoring and data recording.
- Winter and summer, from the Sahara Desert to the Canadian Shield, our instruments have faced up to severe field conditions.
- Intrinsically safe functions.
- Sensitive to geochemical trace levels necessary for radon in lake water and for radon-thoron isotope ratios.
- Can work in a tent without electricity or be carried from point to point in the field.
- 50 readings per day. Results available immediately.
- Rechargeable battery pack good for a long day in the field and recharges in a few hours.
- Can be operated by junior personnel if carefully supervised.
- Same instruments used for radon and radium in soil, sediment, plant parts, rocks, water, soil gas, air, and snow, and for radon daughters in air.
- EPA compliant.
