Abstract

The Geological Survey of Canada R&D logging system was used to make borehole geophysical measurements at the Port Hope landfill site for the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. The objective was to assess the applicability of using borehole investigation methods to characterize low-level radioactive waste. Gamma-ray spectral logging was found to be a useful measurement for this application. A special logging protocol was developed to minimize the erects of radon
