The development of field analytical and sampling equipment and techniques for the location of anomalies in surface water, stream sediments, and ground water which may indicate uranium deposits of commercial interest are summarized. Orientation studies are designed to identify the most effect hydrogeochemical, computational, and analytical techniques for reconnaissance survey. Nine orientation studies are in progress in Georgia, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas and the results obtained to date are reported. The equipment for neutron activation analysis of samples is complete and other analytical methods are being evaluated. Data management, analysis, and interpretation techniques are under development.
