Rapport om diamantboringene ved Einerkilen, Evje

;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;RAPPORT;Bergarkivet; No.BA 5824;22 pages

Abstract:

Rapporten inneholder en diskusjon av boringsresultatene, og er vedlagt diagrammer og profiler fra diamantboringen. Det foreslås flere detaljerte undersøkelser av området for å klarlegge feltets geologiske struktur og mulighet for å finne flere uranførende pegmatitter.

Uran, uranprospektering og uranmineralisering i Norge

;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;TIDSSKRIFTARTIKKEL;Skrifter; No.51;29 pages

Abstract:

Following a short historical review of uranium prospecting in Norway, most of which has been done by the Geological Survey of Norway, a simplified description is given of radioactivity, radiation, instruments and methods of measurements, and the dangers to health from naturally occurring radioactive sources. The main part of the paper concerns a description of uranium prospecting in Norway. The different methods used by the Geological Survey and the areas surveyed by each method are described, comments are given on each prospecting method used. Geological modelling in prospecting is based on a knowledge of the geological environment of known deposits and on parallels drawn with known uranium provinces, especially those in the Nordic countries Sweden and Finland. Only a few per cent of Norway's land area has been covered by radiometric airborne (helicopter) surveys of sufficient quality. More than half of the country has been surveyed by car, i.e. areas where measurements have been made along all the available roads. Geochemical methods have been used, mainly stream sediment sampling, with reasonably good results. Extensive areas have been covered but with uneven and mostly low ampling densities. All work up to 1983 is included in the overview. A short description of the main uranium mineralizations, including literature references, is presented.

Uran og thorium i Norge.

;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;TIDSSKRIFTARTIKKEL;NGU; No.250 A;1-31 pages

Abstract:

In this short publication is mentioned what we today know on uranium and thorium in Norway. U occurs accessory in gneisses and granites, dispersed in Cambrian shales, associated with quartz and calcite in brecciated zones, and on secondary veins of quartz and at last in pegmatites. Th is found in the syenite and nefelinsyenite rocks of the Oslo region, in the common feldspar-quartz quarries, but the most important deposit is Rødberget near to Ulefoss. The Rødberget also contains up to 3 % Ce-earth and app. 0,1 % Nb2O5. With the prices on U and Th today, it is not possible to quarry U and/or Th economically alone from known Norwegian deposits today. A list of all minerals containing more than 0,1 % U and/or Th found in Norway are placed at the end.

Avfallet fra urandriften i Einerkilen, Evje

;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;FAGRAPPORT;Bergarkivet; No.BA 5826;5 pages

Abstract:

Det diskuteres hvordan avgangens kvalitet og innhold kan utnyttes. Flere analyser og mineralogiske observasjoner presenteres, og det hevdes bl.a. at feltspaten er meget god med lavt kalkinnhold.
