Abstract:Radioactive minerals, especially containing uranium and thorium, can be used as a core element of nuclear fuel. Bangka Island is located in The Southeast Asian Tin Belt where it has a large uranium and thorium potential. The purpose of this study is to delineate distribution zone of uranium and thorium in Bangka Island. The study methods consist of radiometric measurement and mapping, petrographic analysis, and mineralogical analysis of pan concentrate samples. Based on radiometric measurement, positive anomal… Show more
