Sargent, K. A.

An orientation study was conducted in the Soddy-Daisy area, Tennessee, in preparation for a hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance in the Cumberland Plateau and the Valley and Ridge Provinces. The area was chosen because of the excellent exposure of the Chattanooga Shale. The study was carried out by the Savannah River Laboratory as part of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE). A total of 40 ground water, 36 surface water, and 88 sediment samples were obtained. The concentrations of uranium and other elements were determined by neutron activation analysis. This report is issued in draft form, without detailed technical and copy editing. This was done to make the report available to the public before the end of the NURE program. 4 figures, 6 tables.
