An investigation was made of the feasibility of measuring thorium in rock samples by use of scintillation spectrometry facilities available in the ORNL Analytical Chemistry Division. Results of measurement of eleven samples indicate that the method is usable and that agreement with chemical analysis is reasonable. (auth
