URANIUM PROSPECTION WITH THE HELICOPTER

H. Ziehr

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In the spring of 1959 systematic prospection for uranium was made in Bavaria using an automatic recording scintulation detector carried by helicopter. The design and construction of the detection instrument are described. It is shown that, whereas the cost for the helicopter prospection is higher than that for automobile or airplane prospection, the higher costs are justified by better results. This method is valuable for the discovery of anomalies. The results of airborne prospection in Yugoslavia are briefly reviewed. (J.S.R.)
