Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

Dispersed radioactive ore mineralization (uranium blacks) in paleovalley deposits of the Vitim uranium-ore region (Buryat Republic) has been studied by a set of methods of analytical electron microscopy (SEM, TEM).The ore component, tetravalent uranium phosphate ningyoite, in the form of micrometer crystalline mineraloid precipitations is represented in all kinds of host rocks (sands, bedding granites, overlapping basalts). The previously little known phosphate-black uranium ores are new-for-Russia type of industrial ores.
