National Geochemical Database—Reformatted Data from the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) Program

Brief History and Description of Data

[See History of NURE HSSR Program for a summary of the entire program.]

The NURE Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) program was never completed. Several quadrangles were not sampled and apparently the Los Angeles quadrangle was one for which no reconnaissance samples were collected or analyzed.

A report on the geology and mineral resources of the Los Angeles quadrangle prepared for the Savannah River Laboratory can be found in the GJBX-213(82) report. No geochemistry accompanies this report.
