Knob Creek Monazite Placer, Cleveland County, North Carolina (open access)

Knob Creek Monazite Placer, Cleveland County, North Carolina

From abstract: The area comprising the first flood plain downstream from the headwaters of Knob Creek was one of three monazite placer deposits near Shelby, N. C., recommended by the Geological Survey for investigation by the Bureau of Mines as a joint effort by the above two agencies. Past production of monazite from the headwaters of this stream and its drainage of an area of known source rocks were factors influencing this selection. Drilling of the deposit was started on November 26, 1951, and completed December 29, 1951. Twenty-two churn-drill holes were completed to bed-rock on 112 acres of this flood plain for a total depth of 433 feet of vertical drilling.

Resources of Thorium and Uranium in Monazite Placers in the Western Piedmont, North Carolina and South Carolina (open access)

Resources of Thorium and Uranium in Monazite Placers in the Western Piedmont, North Carolina and South Carolina

Abstract: "Monazite placers in the western Piedmont of North and South Carolina were explored by the U. S. Geological Survey in 1951-54 and are estimated to contain at least 53,000 short tons of ThO2 and 4,600 short tons of U3O8. None of these deposits is being mined."

Operation of Pilot Plant LTV Evaporator at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina (open access)

Operation of Pilot Plant LTV Evaporator at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina

From Introduction: "The primary objective in the development of the W. L. Badger Long Tube Vertical Multiple Effect Evaporator for saline water conversion is to minimize the ultimate cost of producing potable water. To accomplish the primary objective, it is necessary to (1) prevent formation of scale on heating surfaces, and (2) minimize corrosion to permit use of inexpensive materials of construction. The work done leading to this report was guided in the direction of accomplishing the two secondary objectives."
