Airborne Radioactivity Survey of the Red Desert Region, Sweetwater County, Wyoming

Description: From abstract: An airborne radioactivity survey of a selected area in the Red Desert, Sweetwater County, Wyoming, containing outcrops of radioactive lignites and shales of known surface extent and uranium content, was flown on flight lines at three levels, respectively 250, 500, and 1,000 feet above the ground and spaced at one-quarter mile intervals. Measurements from three identical dual-channel radiation detectors were simultaneously recorded to obtain data at various distances from natural … more

Preliminary Report on Uranium-Bearing Pliocene (?) Rocks in the Split Rock Area, Central Wyoming

Description: From abstract: A sequence of slightly radioactive Pliocene(?) rocks in the Split Rock area of central Wyoming is at least 600 feet thick, underlies an area of more than 25 square miles, and consists of alternating beds of tuffaceous shale, sandstone, and pumicite. Only a small part of the section has been examined. In addition to the uranium content of the strata, there has been secondary concentration of uranium in brecciated limestone similar to spring deposits that could be of Pliocene or Pl… more

Seminoe-Kortes transmission line/substation consolidation project, Carbon County, Wyoming

Description: The existing switchyards at Western Area Power Administration's (WESTERN) Seminoe and Kortes facilities, located approximately 40 miles northeast of Rawlines, Carbon County, Wyoming, were constructed in 1939 and 1951, respectively. The circuit breakers at these facilities are beyond or approaching their service life and need to be replaced. In addition, the switchyards have poor access for maintenance and replacement of equipment, and their locations create potential for oil spills into the Nor… more

National Uranium Resource Evaluation: Lander Quadrangle, Wyoming

Description: From Introduction: "The Lander Quadrangle, Wyoming (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Favorable areas are those that are capable of containing uranium deposit of at least 100 tons of U3O8 in rocks with a minimum average ore grade of 0.01%."

A Study of Uranium Deposits in the Copper Mountain Area: Fremont and Hot Springs Counties, Wyoming

Description: Report documenting a study of the Copper Mountain area to "evaluate the potential uranium production to determine, if possible, the origin and conditions of deposition of the uranium; and suggest possible guides to prospecting in this and geologically similar areas.
