In the late 1940s and early 1950s a Utah/Colorado man
designed and built more portable and accurate Geiger counter that helped revolutionize the search for uranium on the Colorado Plateau.
Gordon Babbel not only produced new prospecting devices, he was a miner in southeastern Utah and he and his partners discovered a previously unknown arch that was named the Uranium Arch in their honor.
My column on Babbel's Geiger Counter is below.
