TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the kinetic effect of specific adsorption interactions on the chemical reduction of uranyl (UVIO22+) by ferrous iron, and derived a rate law for surface-catalyzed U(VI) reduction by Fe(II), d[U(VI)] dt =−k[≡ Fe III OFe II OH 0 ][U( VI)] ads where the bimolecular rate constant k has a value of 399 ± 25 M−1 min−1 at 25°C.

Uranium in natural waters and the environment: Distribution, speciation and impact

TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that high concentrations of U in groundwater are associated most strongly with (i) granitic and felsic volcanic aquifers, (ii) continental sandstone aquifer especially in alluvial plains and (iii) areas of U mineralization.
