Abstract
The surface of the moon can be analyzed by nuclear methods, particularly fast neutron activation, by means of a pulsed miniature neutron generator. Information can be derived from the activation gama ray spectrum, capture radiation, neutron moderation times, natural gamma rays, and gama rays scattered from a gamma ray source.
