Karnes County, Texas, area hydrogeochemical and stream uranium orientation study

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5369746
Samples of ground water, stream water, suspended stream sediment, and stream-bed sediment were collected over and near a blind, undeveloped roll-front deposit of uranium in Karnes County, Texas. Dissolved oxygen, pH, Eh, conductivity, temperature, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, and sulfate in water were measured in the field. Uranium was determined in all samples in the laboratory by neutron activation analysis. The results of the study indicate that ground water may be the preferred sampling medium for geochemical reconnaissance for South Texas roll-front deposits of uranium.
