A sequence of buried, bedded, air-fall tuffs has been used extensively as a host medium for underground nuclear tests detonated in the central part of Yucca Flat at the Nevada Test Site. Water levels within these bedded tuffs have been elevated hundreds of meters in areas where underground nuclear tests were detonated below the water table. Changes in the ground-water levels within these tuffs and changes in the rate and distribution of land-surface subsidence above these tuffs indicate that pore-fluid pressures have been slowly depressurizing since the cessation of nuclear testing in 1992. Declines in ground-water levels concurrent with regional land subsidence are explained by poroelastic deformation accompanying ground-water flow as fluids pressurized by underground nuclear detonations drain from the host tuffs into the overlying water table and underlying regional carbonate aquifer. A hydraulic conductivity of about 3 x 10-6 m/d and a specific storage of 9 x 10-6 m-1 are estimated using ground-water flow models. Cross-sectional and three-dimensional ground-water flow models were calibrated to measured water levels and to land-subsidence rates measured using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar. Model results are consistent and indicate that about 2 million m3 of ground water flowed from the tuffs to the carbonate rock …

This report is an evaluation of solubility data for U, Np, Pu, Am, Tc, Ni and Zr compounds at ambient and elevated temperatures. We review the status of such data in light of the most recently reported experimental results. The focus is on the solid phases that may control solubilities under expected conditions in and near a potential nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Solubility data or reliable predictions over the temperature range 20 to 150{degrees}C will be used in geochemical modeling studies of the Yucca Mountain Project [96PAL].

This report addresses the degraded mode criticality analysis of immobilized plutonium waste forms in a geologic repository.

The geologic map of the Paiute Ridge (Papoose Lake SW) 7 1/2-minute quadrangle shows an area of about 4 square miles on the east side of Yucca Flat that is underlain by basaltic rocks. These rocks are estimated to be as much as 1,000 feet in places and occur as a capping on a small mesa and as lopoliths, igneous masses that in cross section are saucer-shaped. This area was further studied to determine the geologic features of the basaltic rocks in order to evaluate the potential use of this area for underground test sites in media other than tuff, alluvium, and granite, particularly in media of high density. The results of this work are set forth in this report. There are two possible test sites in basaltic rock in the area. Site 1 (within Nevada State coordinates E 709,500 and 710,500 ft and N 854,000 and 856,000 ft) is suitable for a shallow test. Site 2 (bounded by Nevada State coordinates E 707,000 and E 712,000 ft and N 848,000 and N 853,000 ft) could be used for a deep confined test in basaltic rock.
