Current developments in nuclear techniques for coal logging in Canada

  • 1. Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

Description

Nuclear logging techniques for coal currently in use in Canada are briefly reviewed. Current research and development in this area is largely conducted by government laboratories. New developments at the Geological Survey of Canada include construction of a multiple-zone logging research calibration facility in Ottawa. Progress towards establishment of the field calibration facilities in eastern and western Canada is described, including the installation of two fibreglass tanks in Nova Scotia to house the model boreholes. The western calibration facility is expected to be installed during the summer of 1985 in Calgary. Construction of cylindrical calibration zones for the model boreholes will be an ongoing activity.
