An important prerequisite to the long-term use of nuclear energy is
information on uranium ore deposits from which uranium can be
economically exploited. Hence the basic purpose of this book is to
present an overview of uranium geology, data characteristic for
uranium deposits, and a synthesis of these data in the form of a
typological classification of uranium deposits supported by more
detailed descriptions of selected uranium districts and deposits.
An additional goal is to provide access for the interested reader
to the voluminous literature on uranium geology. Therefore a
register of bibliography as global as possible, extending beyond
the immediate need for this book, is provided. The volume presented
here was not originally designed as a product for its own sake. It
evolved as a by-product during decades of active uranium
exploration and was compiled thanks to a request by the Springer
Publishing Company. Routine research work on identifying
characteristic features and recognition criteria of uranium
deposits, combined with associated modeling of types of deposits
for reapplication in exploration, provided the data bank. The
publisher originally asked for a book on uranium deposits
structured as a combined text- and reference book. The efforts to
condense all the text into a single publication were soon doomed.
The material grew out of all feasible proportions for a book of
acceptable size and price, a wealth of data on uranium geology and
related geosciences having become available during the past decade,
too vast for one volume.
