A computerized system to estimate potential uranium resources

Abstract

The URAD system is the only comprehensive computerized database for information and estimates of the quantity of undiscovered uranium resources in the United States. The database includes subjective estimates of uranium endowment and geographic and geologic descriptions for approximately 700 area-specific assessments. The estimated quantity of undiscovered resources are represented in the form of probability distributions. This probabilistic approach makes the uncertainty about these resources explicit.
