Abstract
A method for assessing the uranium content in a region of interest of a subsoil using gamma spectrometry includes acquiring at least one energy spectrum of gamma radiation associated with the region of interest. The energy spectrum includes at least one low-energy band, one high-energy band, a contribution of the self-attenuation of uranium in the low-energy band being greater than a contribution of the self-attenuation of uranium in the high-energy band. The method also includes assessing the uranium content in the region of interest using the area of the low-energy band, the area of the high-energy band of the energy spectrum acquired in the region of interest and at least two calibration coefficients.
