See Table I.
j.During theperiod -1973–75»theuranium exploration andexploitation
activity canbesummarised asfollows .
REMARKS
6.There wasnouranium exploration activity reported inBelgium ,mainland
Denmark ,Ireland ,Luxembourg andtheNetherlands .However ,itwould be
worthwhile carrying out anevaluation ofthose areas that have some
potential foruranium mineralisation ,especially inthecase ofIreland
andBelgium . \
7.InItaly ,although considerable work hasbeen carried out ,particularly
atNovazza ,intheprovince ofBergamo ,there isstill significant uranium
potential tobeevaluated beyond thework that hasbeen carried out in
the Provinces ofViterbo and Sardinia .
8.IntheUnited Kingdom uranium exploration dropped significantly following
theUKAEA-sponsored uranium reconnaissance programme that ended inMarch
1973 .TheInstitute ofGeological Sciences itself continued anumber of
investigations but several oftheuranium anomalies identified remain
untested .Thereconnaissance survey itself did not cover thewhole ofthe
area with uranium potential .Thus there remain anumber ofuranium targets
tobetested .
9.InGreenland themain exploration effort wascentred inS.W. Greenland
onIllimaussaq Intrusion .Although work was initiated inEastern
Greenland there remain large areas ofsignificant uranium potential untested ,
especially inWestern Greenland .

10.InGermany,infact,anumberofprogrammeshavebeeninitiated
andcontinuedduringthisperiod.Theprogrammeshavemetwith
somelimitedsuccessandshouldbeencouraged.
11.InFranceconsiderable uraniumexploration workhasbeencarried
outjbothbytheGovernmentandbyprivateorganisations .This-
explorationeffort,inthecountrythatistheonlysignificant
