Radioactivity and Mineralogy of Concentrates From the Placers of Julian, Moore, and Candle Creeks and the Cripple Creek Mountains, Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands Region, Alaska (open access)

Radioactivity and Mineralogy of Concentrates From the Placers of Julian, Moore, and Candle Creeks and the Cripple Creek Mountains, Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands Region, Alaska

Abstract: Radiometric and mineralogic study of 10 concentrate samples from the placers of Julian, Moore, and Candle Creeks, and the Cripple Creek Mountains, Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands region, Alaska, failed to reveal any significant amounts of uranium. Only the sample from Julian Creek shows and appreciable amount of radioactivity (0.03 percent equivalent uranium), but this is attributed entirely to thorium in monazite.

Direct Radiometric Measurement of the Uranium and Thorium Series in Equilibrium by Gamma-Ray Scintillation Spectrometer (open access)

Direct Radiometric Measurement of the Uranium and Thorium Series in Equilibrium by Gamma-Ray Scintillation Spectrometer

From abstract: "When uranium and thorium are in secular equilibrium with their decay products, these elements may be determined by this direct radiometric method if the materials show more than 0.01 percent equivalent uranium." Sections include instrumentation, relative spectra of the uranium and thorium series, method of analysis and tests, and source geometry.

Appraisal of the Accuracy of U.S. Geological Survey Ore Reserve Estimates for Uranium-Vanadium Deposits on the Colorado Plateau

From Abstract: "The U.S. Geological Survey has made estimates of the reserves of uranium and vanadium in the carnotite deposits explored by Geological Survey drilling on the Colorado Plateau. This report presents an appraisal of the accuracy of the reserve estimates for deposits in the Uravan mineral belt, the causes of inaccuracy, and the significance of the estimates in terms of the total known reserves of the region."
