Westinghouse Hanford Company has initiated investigation into the use of a standard moisture gauge for measurement of in-formation moisture content from cased wells. The presence of air in the borehole does not destroy the instrument response, in fact, the response is very sensitive to formation moisture from steel-cased boreholes. Calibration of the prototype instrument configuration and some experimental characterization for various borehole constructions have been performed and reported. Recommendations for future study are also provided
