Η μελέτη της ακτινοβολίας γ επέτρεψε να χαρτογραφήσουμε ανώμαλες ραδιομετρικά περιοχές και να αποκτήσουμε έναν σημαντικό ιχνοθέτη, που καθορίζει τη γεωχημεία του ουρανίου, θορίου, τιτανίου, σπανίων γαιών και χρυσού, τόσο στη σημερινή παράκτια ζώνη Ν. Περάμου - Λ. Ελευθερών, όσο και στην υποθαλάσσια.Ο εμπλουτισμός των άμμων με ίχνη ουρανίου υφίσταται ως αποτέλεσμα ισχυρής δράσης σύγχρονης και κυρίως παλαιότερης κυματογής, αναμένεται δε, μέγιστος εμπλουτισμός επουσιωδών ορυκτών U, Th, Σ.Γ. και Au, στις κοιλότητες του υποβάθρου (bed - rock).

The radiometric study allowed the survey of γ-radiation, pinpointed the areas of highest or irregular radiation values, and finally acquired a very important drawing specifying the geochemistry of U, Th, Ti, REE, Auetc.In today's shoreside zone, very high surficial levels of U with an average value of 22 and highest of 92 ppm were found, while in the sublittoral old zone all the g-radiation values found were irregular and much higher of those of the radiometric background, of the all-round subaqueous environment (mean values of residual sands 250 and 305 opposite to <60 (c/s)/grxl04 for the "background". The enrichment of sand with trace elements of U is a result of today's and mainly older wave-action, in the lower parts of sandy shoreside formations, with an expected highest enrichment in the bedrock cavities. Initial samples of sands enriched with U elements up to 50 ppm are considered to be a naturally grated multimetal mineral of Ti, U-Th, REE, Au and other metals for high-value technological applications.The concentrations of the above metals are higher of those internationally known to similar minerals(2.5%, 50-1600 ppm, 11.000 ppm and 250 mg/m3 respectively) and can be multiplied with lightwatermetallurgical processes. The concentrations of sands with highγ-radiation in today's shoreside zone can be differentiated between fine, medium and thick grains of sand particles with a slight inclination towards the waveaction. Their thickness has characteristic fluctuations, with a growth tendency up to a depth of 1.5 m and a decreasing tendency for depths under 2 m.On an horizontal region these concentrations values appear to grow continuously from the periphery towards the center and the γ-radiation values of the periphery seem to grow with the remotion of the present sediments. The γ-radiation in the sublittoral zone present a recurrent enrichment in the lower parts of the formations and is covered in the deepest points from the surface of the sea from younger age sediments.In the present sublittoral zone as well as in the shoreside zone, lower layers of sands formed out of natural grate actions, are mainly the medium grain and secondarily the fine grain variety. These natural enrichments due to waveaction, form selective concentrations of less important minerals U-Th, allanite rich in U02 and uraninite low in Th02 , which are responsible for the γ-radiation rise.
