| Summary: | A time analysis of uranium exploration, production and known reserves in the United States is employed to reveal industry trends. The
basis for this analysis is the data collected, processed and published
by the A.E.C.'s Grand Junction Office. This analysis reveals that
exploration, thus the quantity of known uranium, has been governed
by demand. Factors affecting the prospects for future discoveries
are discussed. The author concludes that the resource base
may be substantially greater than is presently known, and calls for a
national research effort to better quantify the extent of our uranium
resources.
