Uranium a top subject at Geological Society of America Meeting ...

Boulder, CO, USA ? More than a dozen papers to be presented next week at the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting in North Carolina touch on aspects of uranium mining, environmental contamination, leakage, sorption, geochemistry, and mineral dating. Two studies focus on the Coles Hill uranium deposit in nearby Chatham, Virginia. Another discusses environmental contamination near a uranium mine, while a fourth focusses on potential nuclear repository conditions.

The following highlighted papers will be presented on Sunday and Monday at the Charlotte Convention Center.
