Gamma logging is the fundamental method for quantitatively determining uranium content of mineralized intervals in boreholes. The U-Ra equilibrium in a certain sandstone-hosted uranium deposit has been severely disrupted. To investigate the impact of Ra-rich sections (mineralized intervals where the equivalent uranium grade derived from radium is ≥ 0.010 0% but the uranium grade is<0.010 0%) on log interpretation and U-Ra equilibrium correction results, the uranium and radium content analysis results of permeable ore samples were systematically studied. The results show that: for samples with a uranium grade≥0.010 0%, the weighted average uranium grade is 0.042 7 %, the weighted average U-Ra equilibrium coefficient is 0.615, and the coefficient of variation is 1.041; for samples with an equivalent uranium grade derived from radium≥0.010 0%, the weighted average uranium grade is 0.029 5%, the weighted average U-Ra equilibrium coefficient is 0.890, and the coefficient of variation is 3.785. Ra-rich sections will significantly increase the deposit's U-Ra equilibrium coefficient, increase the orebody thickness, and decrease the deposit's uranium grade. Gamma logging cannot identify and remove Ra-rich sections. Consequently, neither the log interpretation results nor the U-Ra equilibrium correction results objectively reflect the orebody's spatial position, grade and thickness. The estimated resource quantity is also inaccurate.
