OSTI ID:5324743

This report summarizes the accomplishments, status, and program of the Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) contribution to the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program. SRL has accepted responsibility for Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) of 1,500,000 square miles in 30 eastern and 7 far-western states. This report is a progress report covering the period October 1979 through March 1980. SRL efforts in the following areas are discussed: reconnaissance and detailed studies in geological programs; management, analysis, and interpretation of analytical and field data; reporting of HSSR results; sample preparation methods; and neutron activation analysis and other analytical techniques. The Appendix to the report summarizes the SRL-NURE production of the October 1979 - March 1980 period and the program plans for the second half of FY-1980. Page-scale maps are included that summarize the status and plans for sampling, chemical analyses, and open file data reports.
