Radioactivity in the "Okpilak" Gneissic Granite Mount Michelson Area, Northeastern Alaska (open access)

Radioactivity in the "Okpilak" Gneissic Granite Mount Michelson Area, Northeastern Alaska

The following report discusses radioactive results found in 4 samples of gneissic granite of 13 samples collected from the Mount Michelson area of northeastern Alaska. A mineralogic study of all heavy-mineral fractions having more than 0.01 percent equivalent uranium indicates that the radioactive material apparently is confined to biotite, which in one sample contains 1.19 percent uranium.
