核分析方法在地质学中有着广泛的应用， 岩石成因、蚀变、年龄测定、污染监测和废物 处置 该项目为以下人员提供实践经验： 本科教师在操作和使用核反应堆， 辐射安全，核反应的基本原理，通过 核方法、数据处理和解释。 该计划是 使用仪器中子活化分析的短到长半- 生命元素、放射自显影和裂变径迹测年。 参与者 参与了为期五天的实地考察， 太平洋西北部的火山区， 在许多问题上，核方法的应用 是合适的。 教师们正在返回他们的家乡机构， 三到四个项目，包括数据集、实地样本和 照片，并计划在本科使用的材料 岩石学、地球化学和独立研究课程。 与会者被告知他们可以在哪里以及如何继续 这些项目为他们的本科班后，该计划已 结束

Nuclear methods of analysis in geology have wide applications in petrogenetic, alteration, age dating, pollution monitoring, and waste disposal. This project is providing hands-on experience for undergraduate faculty in the operation and use of a nuclear reactor, radiation safety, fundamentals of nuclear reactions, obtaining data by nuclear methods, data reduction, and interpretation. The program is using instrumental neutron activation analysis of short to long half- life elements, autoradiography, and fission-track dating. Participants are involved in a five day field trip to various sites in the Tertiary volcanic province of the Pacific northwest and ar being introduced in the field to many problems where the applications of nuclear methods are appropriate. Faculty are returning to their home institutions with three to four projects that include data sets, field samples and photographs, and plans for the use of the material in undergraduate classes in petrology, geochemistry and independent studies. Participants are being informed as to where and how they can continue these projects for their undergraduate classes after the program has ended.
