Maps showing the producing areas of Uranium 235, the activat ing substance of the atomic bomb, form part of the exhibit. Certain unproductive occurrences of these minerals also form a part of the map display. Uranium and Rad:um were for merly supplied to the entire world from the 'Belgian Congo, which yielded 60 per cent, and the Great Bear Lake region of northern Can ada, which produced 40 per cent. The area Joachimsthal, Czecho slovakia, which was the source of the mineral from which (Madame Curie discovered Radium, is also on display in the form of Pitch blende.
