DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Geological Survey of Canada has been involved with the calibration of borehole gamma-ray spectrometers since 1977 when it constructed the first borehole gamma-ray calibration facilities. Inconsistencies in the results from intercomparisons with other facilities demonstrated the importance of reliable quantitative gamma-ray borehole measurements. The model boreholes described in this bulletin have been designed to avoid many of the problems associated with the construction of borehole calibration facilities which were revealed through the intercomparison exercises. This report should therefore be of practical use to those wishing to construct similar calibration facilities elsewhere.
