Uranium in Black Sea bottom sediments

DOI

Results of uranium content determinations in 76 samples of surface layer bottom sediments, from sediment cores, and deep-sea drilling cores are reported. These data confirm previously established regularities of uranium distribution in Black Sea bottom sediments. The main factors of its concentration are hydrochemical features of the hydrogen sulfide enrichment zone and enrichment of deep-sea sediments in organic matter resulting to increase (4-6 times) of uranium content in comparison with its average content in sedimentary rocks.
