SPECTRAL GAMMA-RAY LOG

Specialty Definition: SPECTRAL GAMMA-RAY LOG

DomainDefinition

Mining

Record of the radiation spectrum and relative intensities of gamma rays emitted by strata penetrated in drilling. Because of their different energies the relative amounts of radioactivity contributed by different elements can be determined. CF:gamma-ray well logSee also:radioactivity log. (references)

Physics

Radioactivity log curves of the intensity of natural gamma radiation within discrete energy bands characteristics of specific radioactive series(uranium-radium-thorium)or isotopes(potassium-40). It is used in correlation where other criteria fail; also in uranium exploration where thorium or potassium minerals contribute significantly to total gamma radiation. Source: European Union.
