“…and cannot travel very far in that time (10,16), a thorium ores are ~~s u a l l y found to be in equil~briuni. Of the indirect detection methods ordinary gamni't detectors (36,1,7,39) , by far the most popular because of their inherent simplicity.

The application of various physical methods to the assay of uranium and thorium in ores is discussed. It is shown how it is possible to determine their uranium and thorium content by means of simultaneous measurement of their beta and gamma activities. Simple working equations are derived which permit this determination to be carried out irrespective of the equilibrium condition of the uranium in the sample. Suitable experimental equipment is described briefly and some typical experimental results are presented.

1960. One may hope that the appearance of these books wdll help to stabilize, with consideration for the analytical chemist, the confused and proliferating nomenclature in the field under review. SCATTERING While x-ray methods were coming of age in analytical chemistry, it sufficed to know that atoms do scatter x-rays, and that the importance of this scattering increases relative to photoelectric absorption as the atomic number decreases.
