-A '''Nuclear Density Test''' provides a direct, instantaneous readout of soil moisture content, soil density, and percent proctor. There are two small radiation sources in the device that emit relatively weak radiation.  When the sources are exposed to the soil a receiver measures time and intensity of received radiation to determine the soil properties.
