Uranium in the Southern United States (open access)

Uranium in the Southern United States

From introduction: In this study on raw material sources of uranium the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board has catalogued all known occurrences of uranium and some references to thorium in a 17-state area (P1. 1). These occurrences have been evaluated as potential sources of uranium by the State Geological Surveys and the consultant group of SINB. Favorability guides have been applied to the known occurrences and recommendations have been made for future action by the states involved, federal agencies, or by industry. State recommendations are included in state-by-state summaries. The state reports were written either by personnel of the State Geological Surveys or were abstracted from State geological survey data by members of the consultant group...The purpose of this study was to compile information on and systematically assess uranium and other radioactive occurrences in the region. The SINB undertook the project because of its statutory, interstate capability as an extension of government in each of the 17 states, an arrangement that lends itself effectively to this cooperative undertaking.

Preliminary Study of the Uranium Potential of the Dan River Triassic Basin System, North Carolina and Virginia (open access)

Preliminary Study of the Uranium Potential of the Dan River Triassic Basin System, North Carolina and Virginia

From summary: A preliminary geologic investigation was conducted to determine the uranium potential of the Triassic strata in the Dan River basin system (Dan River, Danville, and Davie County Triassic basins) of North Carolina and Virginia. The pre-Triassic Inner Piedmont basement rocks adjacent to the basins were investigated as potential sources of uranium. Outcrops of Triassic and basement rocks were examined and measured for surface radioactivity by scintillometer. Representative rock and saprolite samples were collected for laboratory analyses.

Preliminary Basic Data Release: Ground Water in Winston-Salem 1° x 2° NTMS Area, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee (open access)

Preliminary Basic Data Release: Ground Water in Winston-Salem 1° x 2° NTMS Area, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee

From abstract: This report presents preliminary results of stream sediment and ground water reconnaissance in the Greensboro National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) 1° x 2° quadrangle. Stream sediment samples were collected from small streams at 1240 sites for a nominal density of one site per 13 square kilometers (five square miles) in rural areas. Ground water samples were collected at 774 sites for a nominal density of one site per 25 square kilometers (ten square miles).
