Report discussing the intensive search for uranium in the United States. This report contains information regarding common uranium minerals, types of uranium deposits, methods of prospecting for uranium, distribution of uranium deposits in the United States, and a conclusion.

Report discussing the various resources of lithium for the United States and Canada. The report contains information regarding the geology of lithium in the U.S. and Canada, lithium reserves and resources, and the future of the lithium mining industry.

The following report discusses the problems of injection and the possibility of chemical reactions occurring upon contact between earth materials and typical high-level acid aluminum nitrate wastes, along with proposed methods of disposal of such wastes by injection into deep-lying, brine-saturated permeable beds (salaquifers).

From purposes and approach of study: The primary purposes of this study were to: (1) Define, on a reconnaissance level, current (1980) water-quality conditions in major aquifers (water-yielding rock formations) in the western Snake River basin, Swan Falls to Glenns Ferry; (2) summarize and interpret available geologic and hydrologic data to assist in understanding the natural and man-cause factors that affect present and future understanding the natural and man-caused factors that affect present and future water-quality conditions; and (3) establish a hydrologic data base on which future data can be compared to evaluate changes. A secondary purpose was to evaluate the possible effects percolation of thermal water applied for irrigation may have on the quality of local, less mineralized, nonthermal ground water.

From Introduction: "This catalog is a list of specimens of radioactive minerals for which the Geological Survey has been collecting optical, X-ray diffraction, and other data."

A report about the vanadium-uranium deposit at the Rifle and Garfield mines which lies in the Wingate sandstone and the overlying Entrada sandstone.

From introduction: This report summarizes information concerning many aspects of the geology and hydrology at Memphis, Tennessee. It also outlines some of the current problems related to the local geology and hydrology or ones that may arise as a result of urbanization and industrialization of the area.

Report discussing "field and laboratory studies of ground-water conditions in the carnotite-bearing Morrison formation in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah" with the objective of determining "possible relations between ground waters and the carnotite deposits."

Report discussing a study of the crystal structure of montroseite crystals. Results of X-ray study, crystal structure analysis, features of the structure, and crystal chemistry and alteration information are included.

A bibliography which consists of references to published literature, press releases, speeches, and both open-file and other unclassified reports dealing with uranium, thorium, and radioactive occurrences in several United States states.

The following report is preliminary in nature, discussing and analyzing traces of uranium in apatite and phosphorite.

Abstract: During parts of July, August, and September 1951, a reconnaissance was conducted in parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho in search of new deposits of uranium-bearing carbonaceous rocks. One significant uranium occurrence was found, the Fall Creek deposit, Bonneville County, Idaho. Several additional localities were discovered that contain uranium in concentrations many times that normally found in carbonaceous rocks.

A report about five sample of purple fluorite found in association with radioactive materials, and a synthetic colorless control sample which were studies and compared.

From abstract: This report presents estimated annual and monthly water budgets for lake Wingra and the adjacent wetland area for January 1972 through September 1977. Annually, inputs from precipitation, surface runoff, and ground-water inflow are approximately equal (31, 34, and 35 percent, respectively). Outputs include outflow from the lake into Murphy Creek (70 percent), evotranspiration from the lake and wetland (26 percent), and ground-water outflow (4 percent).

From abstract: Uranium assays of all the samples collected by the Geological Survey from the Chattanooga shale in east-central Tennessee and southern Kentucky from 1947 to 1949 are assembled here, and conclusions are drawn concerning the distribution of the uranium. The 1108 assays from 80 localities provide reasonably reliable information on the stratigraphic and regional variations of the uranium content.

From introduction: A project to use the immense energy concentrated in a nuclear device to construct an experimental deep-water harbor has been proposed by the Atomic Energy Commission and is referred to as Project Chariot; it is one phase of AEC Project Plowshare...During the field conference, Mr. Gerald Johnson of U. C. R. L. requested that the U. S. Geological Survey submit a report on the summer's investigation around the first of November 1958. This preliminary report is in response to Mr. Johnson's request.

A report which presents information about the phosphatic parts of the Permian Phosphoria formation and its stratigraphic correlatives sampled in 1953 and 1954.

From introduction: In 1975 a project was begun to provide information on several aspects of coal hydrology in Ohio. The first phase was a reconnaissance of water-quality conditions in coal-mining regions. Phase one had two primary objectives; to document the occurrence of certain inorganic and organic constituents in waters of the coal-mining regions and to determine if the concentrations of those constituents were related to coal mining. The second phase of the project was a more detailed study of four basins sampled during the first phase.

This is part of a series of reports that cover the study of 202 sites throughout the world providing data on rock and soil to a depth of 100 feet and on climatic conditions. This volume discusses locations in Europe, the U.S.S.R. and Southwest Asia.
