Abstract
Uranium remobilization and migration in the Syrian Desert (Area-1) has been evaluated through analyzing the data of aerial spectrometric gamma technique and examining different radioactive geophysical approaches. The ten geological units identified on the already established scored map have been well characterized through analyzing their contents of eU, eTh, and K%, and studying the mutual relationships between those elements and their ratios. This is done in order to define the regional variation trends of the uranium migration in Area-1, and to evaluate the degree of uranium remobilization. The uranium potential in the studied Area-1 has been explained by applying and analyzing two prospecting indicators of the uranium favorability index UI and alteration-F. It was demonstrated that uranium remobilization took place in all the described lithological units, but to different degrees. The uranium migration and its haloes redistributions have been explained by establishing different plausible geological model interpretations. Several localities such as wadi Ratka are found to be favorable possible traps for uranium accumulation, which necessitate more further detailed uranium exploration.
