Uranium related research inquiries are my most frequently asked reference questions here in the Denver Library. Please, please feel free to contact me directly with additional tips and tricks to finding and using library materials, and(or) refer to my previous presentations and publications about uranium research and information (as well as radionuclide research and information) in rocks and water resources :
