Ground Water Test Well D, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada

Description: Introduction: The U.S. Geological Survey is appraising the possibility, however slight, that the ground water beneath the Nevada Test Site, possibly contaminated by nuclear detonations, may carry radioactive fission products to places where they may constitute a public hazard.

Reconnaissance for Radioactivity in the Gold Hill Mining Area, Boulder County, Colorado, Part 1

Description: Abstract: Several radioactive deposits were found as a result of reconnaissance in the Gold Hill mining area, Boulder County, Colo. The ore deposits of the area have been worked chiefly for gold. All ore shipped has come from fissure veins, most of which are gold telluride veins. There are, however, some important sulfide veins which show a vague zonal distribution of pyritic gold ores and silverlead ores. The results of this reconnaissance suggest a possible relationship of the radioactive dep… more

Preliminary Report on Geologic Investigations in Monument Valley Area, Arizona, 1952

Description: From introduction: A program of uranium investigations and geologic mapping on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Apache and Navajo Counties, northeastern Arizona (fig. 1) was undertaken by the U. S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission during the field seasons of 1951 and 1952. Field work on this program has been completed and preliminary copies of the maps, which cover an area of about 700 square miles, are inclosed as part of this report. The two principal objectives of … more

Radiometric Examination of Rock Specimens from Mount McKinley, Alaska

Description: Abstract: A suite of 50 rock specimens, collected by the 1947 Washburn Mount McKinley Expedition, was scanned radiometrically. The maximum radioactivity observed in any one of the specimens was about twice background. Radiometric analyses of the most radioactive samples show that a sample of vein quartz coated with manganese oxide contains 0.009 percent equivalent uranium and that the maximum equivalent uranium content of granitic rock types is .004 percent. The radioactivity of the manganese-s… more

A Semiquantitative Spectrographic Method for the Analysis of Minerals, Rocks, and Ores ([Part] 2)

Description: Abstract: The scope of the semiquantitative spectrographic method for the analysis of minerals, rocks, and ores previously described as determining 55 elements, has now been increased to 68 elements which can be estimated in one exposure of a l0-mg sample. Fluorine, the 69th element, requires a separate exposure for some materials. The method has been used to complete about 185,000 determinations in the past two years. Listed in this report are 336 chemical check analyses that indicate approxim… more

Wagon-Drill Sampling by U.S. Geological Survey

Description: Abstract: For a number of years the Geological Survey has employed core drilling as a means of obtaining samples of underground formations for use in exploring and evaluating mineral deposits. During 1951, however, experiment with less expensive methods showed that, for analytical purposes, wagon-drill cuttings could be used as effectively as cores, provided a practical method were devised for recovering them in suitable form. The recent development of such a method has made it possible, in pla… more
