Uranium exploration by radon measurement in mineral inclusions

Radon measurement in mineral inclusions provides a new method of uranium prospecting. Both solid rocks and water system sediments can be sampled for this purpose. Sediments inclusion radon is used for orientating prospective area, while solid rock inclusion radon for locating the blind ore bodies. Surccessful tests have been carried out in granite and volcanic areas for hydrthermal type uranium ores. To compare with the conventional prospecting methods and methods of evaporation aureole and thermal aureole, the radon approach is simpler and more effective, suitable for various stages of uranium ore prospection
