From foreword: The results of an engineering study directed toward the evaluation and selection of a nuclear reactor system designed to produce electricity and furnish steam to a water desalination plant in the Florida Keys are given in this report.

This volume in the thirteenth in a series of reports dealing with the recovery of uranium, alumina and phosphate values from the leached zone portion of the Florida phosphate producing area.

Introduction: The present report summarizes pilot plant operations on the sulfuric acid digestion of -200 mesh leached zone and filtration of the digested slurry for the period May 5, 1952 through August 7, 1953.

Introduction: This volume is the second in a series of reports dealing with the recovery of uranium, alumina, and phosphatic values from the leached zone portion of he Florida phosphate producing area.

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.
