Title: Uranium hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance data release for the Red Creek quartzite special study area, vernal NTMS quadrangle, Utah/Colorado, including concentrations of forty-six additional elements

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6489858

Reported are uranium and other elemental data resulting from the Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) of the Red Creek Quartzite special study area, Vernal National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangle, Utah/Colorado. The LASL is responsible for conducting the HSSR primarily in the Rocky Mountain states of New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana and in Alaska. The HSSR is part of the United States Department of Energy's National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE), which is designed to provide improved estimates of the availability and economics of nuclear fuel resources and make available to industry information for use in the development and production of uranium resources. The HSSR data will ultimately be integrated with data from other NURE programs. Totals of 22 water and 140 sediment smaples were collected from 148 locations in the study area. The study area, in the north-central portion of the Vernal NTMS quadrangle, is covered by four 7-1/2' topographic maps: Dutch John, Goslin Mountain, and Clay Basin, Utah; and Willow Creek Butte, Utah/Colorado. Additional HSSR data are available for the entire Vernal quadrangle. All field and analytical data are presented in Appendix I. Figure 1 is an index and sample location map that can be used in conjunction with the 1:250 000-scale topographic map of the Vernal quadrangle. Standardized field, analytical, and data base management procedures were followed in all phases of the study. These procedures are described briefly in Appendix II-A. The data presented in Appendix I are available on magnetic tape from GJOIS Project, Union Carbide Corporation (UCC-ND), Computer Applications Department, 4500 North Building, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, P.O. Box X, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 38730.
