Testing density
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"We use nuclear sources to measure density*. It's a tiny piece of a nuclear reactor that's in an encased shell. It's pressed right up against whatever pipe you want to get a density reading out of an it reads your flow going through there. How much time it takes to react back is how it measures your density."
*Note: The density testing measures the concentration of the mineral present.
