Abstract
The U.S. Government's National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Program commenced in 1974 and was last comprehensively reported on in An Assessment Report on Uranium in the United States of America, GJO-111(80), dated October 1980. During the seven years of the NURE Program, an unprecedented quantity of geoscience information was gathered throughout the conterminous United States and Alaska. The resulting data bases in geology, geophysics, and geochemistry are substantial and can be applied to the search for many mineral resource commodities other than uranium. This paper describes briefly what data are available, where the data are located, and how they can be obtained by the public. These data fall into seven major categories: Geologic Quadrangle Maps, Radiometric Data from Aerial Surveys, Magnetic Data from Aerial Surveys, Geochemical Data from Waters and Sediments, Radiometric Data from Borehole Logging, Mineralogic Data from Rock Sample Analysis, Evaluation Data for Resource Estimates.
Nearly all the NURE data were acquired, are organized, and can be accessed by National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) 1:250,000-scale quadrangle. Figures 1 and 2 show the distribution of these quadrangles throughout the lower 48 states and Alaska, respectively. Listed below are the 20 repositories scattered across the country where the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has placed most of the information on open-file.
