Fundamentals and Practice of Nuclear Logging: A Subsurface Measurement Technique exposes the reader to the basic physics utilized in nuclear measurements, exploring how it is used in tool design and interpretation. Nuclear/atomic techniques, first used in 1939 to probe the subsurface, are now a key component of the suite of down-hole physics measurements used to study geological media. These techniques allow both static and dynamic characterization of geological formations and of well-bores, with a range of interpretations unattainable from any other single subsurface technique.
Fundamentals and Practice of Nuclear Logging: A Subsurface Measurement Technique discusses safety and security challenges inherent in current radionuclide-based techniques and the research underway to mitigate these risks, using advanced generator-based methods where the physics and interpretation can change. The book is designed for upper division and graduate students to gain an insight on the fundamentals and as a reference for practitioners.
