Uranium Deposits in the Red Desert of the Great Divide Basin, Sweetwater County, Wyoming

From introduction: The investigations that are the subject of this report were to appraise the uranium resources of the Red Desert area, and to accumulate data concerning the geology of uranium. Knowledge of the genesis of the schroeckingerite is necessary for a clear appraisal of the deposit.

Uranium Occurrences on the Merry Widow Claim, White Signal District, Grant County, New Mexico (open access)

Uranium Occurrences on the Merry Widow Claim, White Signal District, Grant County, New Mexico

From abstract: The Merry Widow claim is near the center of sec. 22, T. 20 S., R, 15 W, New Mexico principal meridian, about 1 mile west of White Signal, Grant County, N. Mex. Secondary uranium minerals were discovered in the White Signal district in the early 1920's although several mines in the district had been worked previously for gold, silver, and copper. The writers mapped the Merry Widow claim in 1950, collected 133 samples, and logged the core from one diamond-drill hole on the Merry Widow claim.

The Relative Physiological and Toxicological Prosperities of Americium and Plutonium (open access)

The Relative Physiological and Toxicological Prosperities of Americium and Plutonium

The relative physiological and toxicological properties of americium and plutonium have been studied following their intravenous administration to rats. The urinary and fecal excretion of americium was similar to that of plutonium administered as Pu(N03)4. The deposition of americium the tissues and organs of the rat was also similar to that observed for plutonium. The liver and the skeleton were the major sites of deposition. Zirconium citrate administered 15 minutes after injection of americium increased the urinary excretion of americium and decreased the amount found in the liver and the skeleton at 4 and 16 days. LD305° studies showed americium was slightly less toxic when given in the acute toxic range than was plutonium. The difference was, however, too slight to be important in establishing a larger tolerance dose for americium. Survival studies, hematological observations, bone marrow observations, comparison of tumor incidence and incidences of skeletal abnormalities indicated that americium and plutonium have essentially the same chronic toxicity when given on an equal basis. These studies support the conclusion that the tolerance values for americium should be essentially the same as those for plutonium.

Geology and Ore Deposits of Mesa V, Lukachukai District, Arizona (open access)

Geology and Ore Deposits of Mesa V, Lukachukai District, Arizona

From abstract: Mesa V of the Lukachukai area is capped by Morrison sediments which dip gently eastward from the mountains to the mesa tip, where the strata are tilted sharply to the opposite dip by the Lukachukai monocline. The Salt Wash of Mesa V contains ore outcrops which indicate favorable intensity of mineralization at one horizon along a 2000-foot outcrop interval. Other scatted exposures indicate the existence of ore under much of the mesa surface.

Domestic Phosphate Deposits

From abstract: Incomplete but recently partly revised estimates indicate the presence of about 10 billion tons of phosphate deposits in the Urited States that is minable under present economic conditions. Deposits too lean in quality or thickness to compete with those in the western and southeastern fields probably contain tens of billions of tons.
