Reconnaissance For Radioactive Deposits In The Northeastern Part Of The Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 1945-1947 And 1951 is a scientific report written by Hugh Richard Gault. The book describes the findings of a geological survey conducted in the northeastern part of the Seward Peninsula in Alaska between 1945 and 1951. The survey aimed to identify potential sources of radioactive minerals, which were of interest to the US government due to their potential use in nuclear weapons and energy production. The book provides a detailed account of the survey methodology, including the use of aerial photography, ground exploration, and laboratory analysis of rock samples. The results of the survey are presented in tables, graphs, and maps, which show the location, quantity, and quality of radioactive minerals found in the area. The book also includes a discussion of the geological history of the Seward Peninsula and the factors that contribute to the formation of radioactive deposits. Gault provides insights into the economic potential of the region for mining and mineral exploration, as well as the potential environmental impacts of such activities. Overall, Reconnaissance For Radioactive Deposits In The Northeastern Part Of The Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 1945-1947 And 1951 is a valuable resource for geologists, mining professionals, and anyone interested in the history of mineral exploration in Alaska.Geological Survey Circular, No. 250.
