Abstract
Two independent calculations suggest that, on average, about 20 - 25 percent of the primary uranium endowment of granites in the conterminous United States may have been lost. The methods of calculation and the data which they employ need refinement, but the implications for modelling radioactive granites as sources for uranium are significant.
