Abstract

In the Island of Sulawesi, there are many granitic rocks which have potential for containing radioactive mineral deposits. The purpose of this study is to determine the type of radioactive mineral deposits based on radioactivity, uranium grade, and mineralogy characteristics of certain granitic rocks. The data used comprise radioactivity measurement, uranium content, megascopic and petrographic observations of rocks, and grain analysis of heavy mineral of granitic rocks from uranium exploration on the island of Sulawesi. The granitic rocks consist of granite, biotite granite, granodiorite, biotite granodiorite, hornblenda granodiorite, hornblenda biotite granodiorite, biotite hornblenda granodiorite, biotite adamelite, hornblenda biotite adamelite, biotite hornblenda diorite, diorite, biotite hornblenda diorite and syenite. The radioactivity of granitic rocks is 50 to 1,200 c/s and uranium content is 0.54 to 36 ppm. Radioactive minerals found in granitic rocks consist of zircon, monazite, alanite, thorite, and branerite. The potential occurrence of radioactive mineral deposits on the island of Sulawesi are placer-type thorium deposits at the modern deltas and coasts.

Abstract

A hydrogeological study was carried out in Sungai Raya Village, Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The objectives of the study were to identify the occurrences of the aquifer in Sungai Raya, along with its type, depth, distribution, and quality. The methods used in this study were literature studies of geological data and geoelectrical measurement. Based on the literature study, it was known that the study area, from the oldest to the youngest, consists of andesite, granodiorite, diorite, quartz sand deposit, littoral deposit, and alluvial deposit. Based on the geoelectrical measurement, it resulted that most of the subsurface layers recorded by the instrument are alluvial deposit (characterized by their low-resistivity value) which is underlaid by the bodies of igneous rocks, i.e. diorite and andesite (characterized by its high-resistivity value). Based on the comprehensive analysis, there are two aquifers in the study area, they are alluvial deposit and quartz sand deposit. Both of them are unconfined aquifers. The aquifers can be found at the surface to the depth of ±100 m. It can be inferred that the aquifers relatively deepen to the north and east. The quartz sand deposit is a better aquifer since it has better sorting and more-open fabric than the alluvial deposit which provides the deposit a larger capacity for storing and transmitting groundwater.

Abstract

Alluvium deposits from the Kendawangan River located in Marau, Ketapang, West Kalimantan have been known for their radioactive and rare earth mineral potential. In this paper, heavy minerals taken from alluvium deposits will be characterized to determine the elemental distribution of uranium, thorium, and rare earth elements in each mineral and their mineralogical composition. The samples are taken by panning and prepared using the flotation method to obtain heavy mineral concentrates. Geochemical analysis was carried out using a Bruker M4 Tornado plus Micro-XRF and continued with mineralogical analysis using AMICS (Advanced Mineral Identification and Characterization System) software. It was found that the distribution of heavy minerals from the sand samples was dominated by manganoan ilmenite, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, magnetite, and monazite, as well as thorite, cassiterite, xenotime, allanite, and other minerals in small quantities. Uranium, thorium, and rare earth elements are found in monazite, thorite, xenotime, zircon, and allanite.

Abstract

Site evaluation is an important phase of site selection for commercial-scale nuclear power plants (NPP) in Indonesia. Geotechnical and radioactive material dispersion aspects are some of the aspects which are assessed in site evaluation under provisions of laws and regulations. To support those aspect evaluations, it is necessary to conduct hydrogeological characterization in the vicinity of the NPP site. The purpose of this study is to determine the hydrogeological characteristic of the vicinity of the NPP site in Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan Province based on geological and geophysical aspects. The methods of this study consist of geomorphological mapping, geological mapping, hydrogeological mapping, geoelectric measurement, and integrated analysis. The study area consists of three morphological units: alluvial plain, isolated hills, and coastal plain. Stratigraphically, the lithology units of the study area, from the oldest to the youngest, consist of andesite, granodiorite, diorite, quartz sand deposits, coastal deposits, and alluvial deposits. The geophysical measurement used is the geoelectric method which is conducted at 12 electrode arrays with 470 m length and spacing of 10 m. In the geoelectrical section, it can be seen that several anomalies can be interpreted as the fractured body of igneous rocks or the diorite intrusion in andesite. These anomaly values are ranged from 300 Wm to >8000 Wm. The relatively low resistivity values (<30 Wm) are interpreted as water saturated-alluvial deposits that could have a thickness of ±100 m. There are three hydrogeological units in the study area: aquifers in which flow is intergranular with high permeability, aquifers in which flow is intergranular with moderate permeability, and aquifug of local importance. Generally, the groundwater in the study area flows from SSW to NNE.
