The use of Alpha Sensitive Plastic Films (ASPF) for uranium/thorium exploration and prospecting
Abstract
This paper gives a summary of our efforts made to test and use "Alpha Sensitive Plastic Films" (ASPF), for uranium exploration and prospecting. The simulation experiments were performed both in the laboratory and in the field, and it was found that this new tool can be used very profitably. The applied work has helped in locating a few new regions of high radon activity. Also, the experiments indicate a higher efficiency of exploration for the "ASPF-Method" as compared to the conventional "Gamma Detection" technique.
