The fusion of hydrogen into helium provides the energy of the hydrogen bomb. The helium content of the atmosphere is about 1 part in 200,000. While it is present in various radioactive minerals as a decay product, the bulk of the Free World s supply is obtained from wells in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The only known helium extraction plants, outside the United States, in 1984 were in Eastern Europe (Poland), the USSR, and a few in India.

In 1868, within a decade of the development of the spectroscope, an orange-yeUow line was observed in the sun s chromosphere that did not exactiy coincide with the D-lines of sodium. This line was attributed to a new element which was named helium, from the Greek hellos, the sun. In 1891 an inert gas isolated from the mineral uranite showed unusual spectral lines. In 1895 a similar gas was found in cleveite, another uranium mineral. This prominent yellow spectral line was then identified as that of helium, which to that time had been thought to exist only on the sun. In 1905 it was found that natural gas from a well near Dexter, Kansas, contained nearly 2% helium (see Gas, natural). 

The principal source of helium is certain natural gas fields. The helium contents of more than 10,000 natural gases in various parts of the world have been measured (9). Helium concentrations of a few are Hsted in Table 2. In the United States, recovery of helium is economical only for helium-rich gases containing more than about 0.3 vol % belium. Most of the United States helium resources are located in the midcontinent and Rocky Mountain regions, and about 89% of the known United States supply is in the Hugoton field in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas the Keyes field in Oklahoma the Panhandle and Cliffside fields in Texas and the Riley Ridge area in Wyoming (11).

As of 1996, synthetic quartz was produced in the United Kingdom, France, CIS, Venezuela, Canada, China, Japan, Brazil, Poland, as weU as the United States. The principal nondomestic source is Japan. Some producers in the United States are Eastiake, in Ohio Motorola, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Thermo Dynamics, in Shawnee Mission, Kansas.

The natural ore is quarried or mined ia many areas of North America and Europe. Treading North American regions iaclude Canada, Mexico, and ia the United States, California, Texas, Nevada, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. In Europe, Erance, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Russia have significant deposits of natural gypsum, as does Germany.
