Scientific paper

It is well established that radioactivity within the Earth contributes to terrestrial heat flow and dynamic activity of the planet. At present, the extent of the contribution is predicted by models rather than measured by observation. Radioactive heat is dominated by long-lived isotopes of uranium, thorium, and potassium. It is now demonstrated that uranium and thorium in the Earth can be measured by geo-neutrino detectors. Geo- neutrino detectors at both continental and oceanic locations are needed to determine the partitioning of uranium and thorium between the crusts and mantle. The key role of the marine geo-neutrino detector for measuring mantle radioactivity, searching for the putative geo-reactor, and monitoring nuclear activity is described.
