Scientific paper

A nondestructive method of analysis of meteorites for natural and cosmic-ray induced radioactivity using low-level -ray spectrometry of kilogram samples is reported. Results so far obtained are essentially qualitative but appear to be in agreement with previous chemical measurements of K and Al 26 in chondrites and achondrites. Cobalt 60 was detected in the Ussuri (Sikhote-Alin) siderite (fell 1947) but not in old falls such as Odessa and Canyon Diablo. The rate of production of some interesting cosmic-ray induced activities is discussed.
