The Use of Radioactive Dynamite as a Safety Measure in Mines
G. G. EICHHOLZ; A. 0 . SMITH; A. BAUER
RADIOACTIVE dynamite has been prepared by introducing a small amount of antimony-124 into the explosive. Test work is described on the effectiveness of this tracer, on radiation levels in its neighbourhood, and on different methods of .application. Factors determining the choice of isotope, amount of activity, and overall cost of this process are discussed.
