From introduction: The study is essentially an economic evaluation of the construction and operation of nuclear power plants at several designated military installations where increased power generating capabilities of 5 to 40 mwe may be required by the Government during the period 1963 through 1970.

The Estes Gulch disposal site is approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of the town of Rifle, off State Highway 13 on Federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The Department of Energy (DOE) will transport the residual radioactive materials (RRM) by truck to the Estes Gulch disposal site via State Highway 13 and place it in a partially below-grade disposal cell. The RRM will be covered by an earthen radon barrier, frost protection layers, and a rock erosion protection layer. A toe ditch and other features will also be constructed to control erosion at the disposal site. After removal of the RRM and disposal at the Estes Gulch site, the disturbed areas at all three sites will be backfilled with clean soils, contoured to facilitate surface drainage, and revegetated. Wetlands areas destroyed at the former Rifle processing sites will be compensated for by the incorporation of now wetlands into the revegetation plan at the New Rifle site. The UMTRA Project Office, supported by the Remedial Action Contractor (RAC) and the Technical Assistance Contractor (TAC), oversees the implementation of the MAP. The RAC executes mitigation measures in the field. The TAC provides monitoring of the mitigation actions in …

Report of uranium findings from a reconnaissance of the Gallup NTMS quadrangle through water, sediment, and water samples collected from streams, springs, and wells.

From abstract: The Legin group area comprises five privately owned claims, nine Government claims, and some public land. The area is in parts of secs. 28 and 29, T. 43 N., R. 19 W., New Mexico principal meridian, San Miguel County, Colo. It is about 45 miles from the Government mill at Monticello, Utah, and 50 miles from the Vanadium Corporation of America mill at Naturita, Colo. The Legin group area has yielded a total production of more than 18,000 short tons of carnotite ore that averaged 0.32 percent U30 and 2.5 percent V 205 . Most of this production was accomplished during the years from 1935 to 1944, and from 1949 to October 1951.

From introduction: The objective of the investigations is to test the usefulness of these geophysical procedures in connection with exploration for uranium-bearing mineral deposits.

Report discussing an investigation of radioactivity in part of Clear Creek County, Front Range, Colorado. The methods and results of the reconnaissance are included. Veins containing chalcopyrite were found to be the best source of radioactivity in the region.

Report discussing the exploration of the Upper group area in San Miguel County, Colorado, and the investigation of carnotite ores produced from this area.

The following report covers a reconnaissance for new discoveries of radioactive lignite deposits in the Green River Basin and Uinta Basin of Wyoming and Utah where similar discoveries to previous studies in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming were made. Additionally, there were new prospects examined, as well as reconnaissance for uranium deposits.

A report about uranium content of water from various rocks in certain states in the United States. It attempts to locate areas in which large amounts of uranium in the water will reflect the presence of nearby uranium accumulations.

Report discussing the reconnaissance for radioactive uraniferous rocks in parts of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. Regional geology of each area, results of regional reconnaissance, and miscellaneous prospects are included.

The following report is the abstract of a paper with the same title, "Regional Geophysical Investigations of the Lisbon Valley Area Utah and Colorado".

Report discussing a geological study to determine the trace element composition of the ore deposit of the Peanut Mine in Montrose County, Colorado.

Report discussing a study on the connection between carbonate content of samples from the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation and the lithology and vanadium-uranium deposits in the area.

Appendices containing supplementary analytical data of uranium occurrences, chemical analyses of stream-sediment, rock, and soil samples, and tabulated radiometric and gamma-ray anomaly data to accompany a report on U.S uranium resources in the Leadville Quadrangle, Colorado.
