OSTI ID:4223021
The present report on doposits of uranium and thorium was presented in the name of the United Nations at the Geneva conference on peaceful use of atomic energy. The first chapters are devoted to general information on uranium and thorium and the deposits of these elements. Much attention is devoted to them mineralogy of these elements and to the origin of the deposits. The greater part of the report is given to brief descriptions of deposits. The author groups these as follows: (1) deposits formed from hot solutions; (2) ancient uranium mineralization (veins); (3) young uranium mineralization (veins); (4) uranium in early sedimentary rocks; (5) separations of thorium by direct crystallization; (6) concentrations of uranium and thorium in normal sedimentary rocks. Descriptions of deposits were assembled from reports presented at the Geneva conference. (TCO)
