From summary: As the principal objective of this study is to identify the most useful geologic characteristics, referred to as recognition criteria, and develop a method for their systematic use in resource studies and exploration, the important geologic observations on the uranium deposits of South Texas are briefly summarized below.

From synopsis: The discovery of the Rabbit Lake deposit, Saskatchewan, in 1968 and the East Alligator Rivers district, Northern Territory, Australia, in 1970 established the Lower-Middle Proterozoic veinlike-type deposits as one of the major types of uranium deposits. The term "veinlike" is used herein for this type of deposit in order to distinguish it from the classical magmatic-hydrothermal "vein" or "veintype" deposits. The veinlike deposits exhibit distinct geologic features and are now known to include the largest and the richest uranium deposits of the world. At present they account for between a quarter and a third of the Western World's proven uranium reserves.

From abstract: This study is directed toward evaluation of potential uraniferous quartz-pebble conglomerate occurrences or strata-bound uranium occurrences in the Laramie Range.

From purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the Precambrian conglomerates of central Arizona in sufficient depth to determine whether they contain any obvious uranium concentrations and whether their geologic environment of deposition was permissive or prohibitive of conditions favoring uranium concentration.

From summary: The objective of the project was to obtain subsurface data that would permit a more accurate estimate to be made of the uranium potential in the Tertiary basins within the project area.

From preface: This study was funded by the Department of Energy through Bendix Field Engineering Corporation subcontract 78-245-E dated September 20, 1978. The project is part of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NUBE) Program conducted by Bendix for the Department of Energy and is specifically part of an effort to geologically define and explain the significant occurrences of uranium throughout the world.

From abstract: This data report presents supplemental analytical results for stream sediments and ground water. The samples were collected as part of the SRL-NURE reconnaissance in the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) Mesa 10 x 2 quadrangle. Results are reported for 24 elements (Ag, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Li, Mg, Mo, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Se, Sn, Sr, Th, W, Y, Zn, and extractable U) in sediments and 31 elements (Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Sc, Se, Si, Sr, Th, Ti, V, Y, Zn, and Zr) as well as pH, alkalinity, and conductivity in ground water. Field data and NAA data will be open-filed when they are available.

Final report documenting a high-sensitivity airborne gamma radiation and magnetic field survey of the Texas portions of the Beeville (NH 14-12 quadrangle) and Bay City (NH 15-10 quadrangle) National Topographic Map segments including a description of the program and results.

From introduction: This report describes work done in the Durango National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangle, Colorado, by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) as part of the nationwide Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR).

From summary: The procedure has been to search for areas in which nonpedogenic calcrete or gypcrete may have developed and where additional study or exploration might be justified.

From introduction: This folio was compiled to facilitate the use of groundwater as a sampling medium to aid in exploration for hitherto undiscovered deposits of uranium in the subsurface rocks of Minnesota. The report consists of the following sheets of the hydrogeologic map of Minnesota: 1) map of bedrock hydrogeology, 2) generalized cross sections of the hydrogeologic map of Minnesota, showing both Quaternary deposits and bedrock, 3) map of waterwells that penetrate Precambrian rocks in Minnesota. A list of these wells, showing locations, names of owners, type of Precambrian aquifers penetrated, lithologic material of the aquifers, and well depths is provided in the appendix to this report.

From abstract: This report presents preliminary results of stream sediment and ground water reconnaissance in the Charlotte National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) 1° x 2° quadrangle. Stream sediment samples were collected from small streams at 1254 sites for a nominal density of one site per 13 square kilometers (five square miles) in rural areas. Ground water samples were collected at 759 sites for nominal density of one site per 25 square kilometers (ten square miles).

From summary: Granitic and contact-metamorphic rocks of the Owens Valley area were sampled to determine their favorability for uranium. Uranium deposits associated with these rocks were examined to determine the mode of occurrence.

From summary: A preliminary geologic investigation was conducted to determine if the Triassic sedimentary rocks of the Sanford basin and Colon cross structure in North Carolina are favorable hosts for uranium deposits. Rocks of the adjacent Carolina slate belt were also examined as a potential source of uranium

From introduction: This report presents the results of a preliminary study of the uranium favorability of lower and middle Eocene rocks in the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups in the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain. The project began October 1, 1976, and was completed March 1, 1977, by personnel of Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC) under the auspices of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA).

As part of the LASL portion of the US EROA NURE program, water samples from 534 locations and sediment samples from 2936 locations were taken over a 7770 square kilometers area of the Estancia Valley in 1975 and analyzed for uranium.

This is the second part of a report of a uranium hydrogeochemical and stream sediment pilot survey of areas of New Mexico.

"CER Geonuclear has developed, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, a set of detailed plans utilizing nuclear explosives for an underground engineering experiment called project Rio Blanco. The overall objective is to prove the commercial feasibility of using nuclear explosives to recover commercial quantities of tightly held natural gas in the Piceance Basin."

From introduction: This study considered the region comprising the Upper Mississippi and Lower Missouri River basins and to assess the contributions to the radiation potentially received by the populace from airborne radionuclides originating in adjacent areas, an "air envelope" zone, some 200 miles wide.
