The use of nuclear techniques for the detection of buried expls (in mines) has been investigated by the US Army over the past 25 years. The basic approach is the use of a direct beam of highly penetrating radiation to irradiate the soil and the measurement of a reflected, scattered, induced or secondary signal to indicate the presence of a buried mine. A complete historical review and analysis of this work has been prepared by Coleman et al (Ref 18), A brief summary of the highlights of the overall effort is provided here... 

As of this writing, the overall assessment of the feasibility of nuclear techniques for detecting buried mines is poor, for the reasons discussed above...

The use of nuclear techniques allows the determination of C, N, H, O, and heavier contaminants relative fractions with great accuracy, and of the elements depth profile with moderate resolution (typically 10 nm). Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) of light ions (like alpha particles) is used for the determination of carbon and heavier elements. Hydrogen contents are measured by forward scattering of protons by incident alpha particles (ERDA) elastic recoil detection analysis [44,47]. 

Pa. The most recent measurement of the Pa half-life established a value of 32,760 220 yrs based on calorimetry (Robert et al. 1969). This value has been accepted as the commonly used value by most laboratories (e.g., Picket et al. 1994 Edwards et al. 1997). The Commission on Radiochemistry and Nuclear Techniques suggest a value of...
