Aerial radiometric and magnetic reconnaissance survey of portions of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia: Jenkins Quadrangle. Final report
The results of a high-sensitivity, aerial, gamma-ray spectrometer and magnetometer survey of the Jenkins Quadrangle, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, are presented. Instrumentation and methods are described in Volume 1 of this final report. This work was done as part of the US Department of Energy National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Program. Statistical and geological analysis of the radiometric data revealed 52 anomalies worthy of field checking as possible prospects. Twelve anomalies coincide with cultural features that may be major contributors to their anomalous values. Eight anomalies may be due to late dissipation of low-level inversion conditions and low topographic location. Pennsylvanian and Mississippian sandstone and shales have the greatest concentration of anomalies.
