Tabulation or Ore Reserves and Past Production for the Uranium-Vanadium Region of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona (open access)

Tabulation or Ore Reserves and Past Production for the Uranium-Vanadium Region of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona

The tabulations on these pages include all of the known areas in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona having economically important uranium-vanadium deposits of the type which are generally referred to by the terms roscoe-lite and/or carnotite. Though similar deposits are known to exist in other areas they are to be viewed as being little more than mineralogical curiosities.

The X-ray Investigation of the Uranium Hydrogen System: The Structure of UH₃

From abstract: "The uranium-hydrogen system has been examined by X-ray diffraction. This study has revealed one cubic hydride (UH3). Since the structure of the hydride is unrelated to the structures of any of the metal and the hydride has a definite composition, it is not an interstitial solid solution but a true compound."
