Title: Formation of Neogenic Ores on the Dump-Heaps of Old Uranium Mines and on the Mine-Head of Mines under Exploitation; FORMATION DE MINERAUX NEOGENES SUR LES HALDES D'ANCIENNES MINES D'URANIUM ET SUR LE CARREAU DES MINES EN EXPLOITATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4143621

The major degradations suffered by primary and secondary uranium ores under the weathering action of air and water are assessed. Pyritic ores were found to be the most vunerable. The interactions between pynite oxidation products and urantferous compounds often lead to the formation of neogentc ores. (C.J.G.)
