Analytical data

Result BACKGROUND=0.03 MR/HR
Result HIGH=1.0 MR/HR. A SAMPLE OF CHARCOAL FROM VOLCANIC ROCKS CONTAINED 0.06% U3O8. ANOMALOUS RADIOACTIVITY IS REPORTED FROM A THICK SEQUENCE OF FLOWS, TUFFS, AND AGGLOMERATES. THE RADIOACTIVITY MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH CHARCOAL MATERIAL BETWEEN FLOWS AND ASH-FLOW TUFFS. IRON AND MANGANESE OXIDES ARE ALSO REPORTED.
