"This report contains data collected during a geochemical survey for uranium in the Lewistown National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangle of Montana (Fig. 1) by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) as part of the nationwide Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR). [...] The HSSR program is part of the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE), which is designed to provide an improved estimate of the availability and economics of nuclear fuel resources and to make available to industry information for use in the development and production of uranium resources" (p. 1).

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

Report of uranium and thorium findings from a reconnaissance of the Casper NTMS quadrangle through water and sediment samples analyzed for uranium elements by delayed neutron counting and fluorometry, thorium, and 41 additional elements by neutron activation analysis, x-ray fluorescence, and arc-source emission spectroscopy.

Final report describing the development and usage of an automatic decade scaler which operates for a fixed number of counts, developed for use with a Geiger tube.

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

Report of reconnaissance of the Albuquerque NTMS quadrangle through water and sediment samples collected from springs, wells, and streams. Samples analyzed for uranium and 42 other elements. This report is limited to samples containing uranium concentrations greater than the arbitrary anomaly thresholds of 5 parts per billion for waters and 6 parts per million for sediments.

Partial abstract: "During the summers of 1976, 1977, and 1978, 442 water and 1755 sediment samples were collected from 1801 locations within the 19 400 km2 area of the Moab quadrangle, Utah and Colorado, by private contractors for the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Water samples were collected from streams, springs, and wells; wet and dry sediment samples were collected both from stream channels and from springs. Each water sample was analyzed for 13 elements, including uranium, and each sediment sample was analyzed for 43 elements, including uranium, thorium, and vanadium. All field and analytical data are listed in the appendixes of this report" (p. 1).

This report presents uranium and other elemental data as part of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation which is designed to provide improved estimates of the availability and economics of nuclear fuel resources and to make available to industry information for use in the development and production of uranium resources.

Report describing the analysis of water and sediment samples taken from the Cheyenne quadrangle in Wyoming to determine if they contained uranium. Several areas were identified for further study, based on initial analyses.

From introduction: This report describes work done by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) for the United States Department of Energy (US DOE) over a 50 000-km2 area on the Seward Peninsula and vicinity, Alaska, in 1976 (Fig. 1). The DOE Grand Junction Office (GJO), in Colorado, is responsible for administering the nationwide Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) as part of its National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program.

From abstract: During July-August 1976, water and sediments were collected for the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory from streams and lakes over an area of -100 000 km2 around Kotzebue, Alaska. The sampling was by helicopter, as part of the NURE Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) sponsored by the US ERDA. It was done according to rigorous, but simple, written procedures, at a nominal density of one location per 23 km 2, and included the 1400- to 1900-km2 area proposed for the Cape Krusenstern National Monument. All the samples would normally have been analyzed for uranium and presented in a regular HSSR report. However, due to an interest in the proposed Monument area, the Anchorage office of the Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines, provided funds for multielement analyses on the sediments taken from there. Consequently, in addition to the routine field data and uranium determinations for waters and/or sediments from 89 locations sampled over the proposed Cape Krusenstern Monument, the results of analyses of 44 additional elements in 77 of the sediments from there are provided. Sample locations are shown on a 1:250 000-scale plate. The data and descriptions of the methods used are in appendices.
