On the modes of occurrence of uranium in rocks

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

The question of the modes of occurrence of uranium in rocks is extremely important in explaining the conditions under which ore deposits are formed. This was first made clear by V. I. Vernadskii. Widespread studies in recent years, made by Soviet and foreign scientists, have supported the suggestions of V. I. Vernadskii and have defined the modes of occurrence of uranium in rocks more precisely: 1) uranium minerals; 2) isomorphous admixtures of uranium in the crystal lattice of non-uranium minerals; 3) uranium in a dispersed state, adsorbed by minerals and rocks and dissolved in water in rocks.
