Summary
The Measurement Applications and Development Group at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has collected and analyzed data with the purpose of evaluating the in-situ detection capabilities of common hand-held detectors for depleted uranium (²³⁸U) in soil. Measurements were collected with one each of the following detectors: a FIDLER operated in a gross (full spectrum) mode, a FIDLER operated in a spectrum specific (windowed) mode, a 1.25'' x 1.5'' cylindrical NaI detector operated with a gross count rate system, and both open and closed-window pancake-type detectors. Representative samples were then collected at the same location and later analyzed at an ORNL laboratory. This report presents a correlation between the measurements and the soil concentration results and should be helpful to anyone interested in estimating measurement sensitivities for depleted uranium in soil.
