Description

A fission track technique is employed to determine the uranium content of water samples collected from different locations of the middle and outer Himalayas. The regional threshold for the uranium content is determined for water samples of different areas. The identification of anomalies in an area of uranium mineralization confirmed that the hydrogeochemical technique could successfully be used for uranium exploration. (author)
