A year later, finally collecting spectra again (NORM)
Posted: 14 Sep 2016, 16:55
Who knew uni was so stressful?! Freshman year of my geological sciences degree is complete and I finally have some free time again. I've been prepping some REE ore I collected in central Texas a couple years ago for uranium extraction; I have several hundred grams that's been ball milled to -100 mesh, and about 7 kg of material yet to be crushed. I collected 5 grams of the milled material and ran a 12 hour spectrum on it. Absolutely no surprises, uranium and thorium daughters dominate.
