Shirley Basin deposit groundwater (1970s)
Wyoming, Shirley Basin, United States
Groundwater

- Groundwater
Two waters: a Shirley Basin townsite well, about 3 km from the mine, richer in U and near equilibrium, and a mine well somewhat below the ore zone, U-poor with a strong 234U excess (Cowart and Osmond, 1977). Coordinates not published.
