From abstract: The Mount Katmai area is on the Alaska Peninsula and comprises the Mount Katmai quadrangle, the Cape Douglas area of the adjoining Afognak quadrangle, and parts of the Karluk and Naknek quadrangles. The area, which includes nearly all the Katmai National Monument, is one of high relief and is drained by streams of preglacial origin. At least two ice advances are indicated by the moraine configuration. Present-day glaciation is restricted to numerous alpine glaciers in the mountain areas. Fifteen recently active volcanoes roughly form a line from Mount Douglas to Martin Mountain.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over studies conducted on the bentonite deposits of San Benito County, California. As stated in the introduction, "the purpose of the study was to learn if these large deposits contain bentonite of sufficient quality and quantity to be of economic value as an oil-well drilling mud additive" (p. 1). This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and photographs.

The basic objective of the storage of radioactive wastes is to protect humanity from: (1) direct radiation, (2) contamination of food and water supplies, and (3) contamination of mineral resources. There have been many proposals for the disposal of high level liquid wastes from chemical plants processing nuclear fuels. These include our present Hanford system of tank storage; disposal to deep wells, such as the oil industry uses for discard of brines they pump; storage in salt caverns; disposal to selected geological formations, such as salt domes and anticlines, or impermeable substances, such as clay, etc.; or release to the depths of the ocean. Only the use of tanks and salt caverns can be considered as storage systems. The latter is essentially a dry mine into which material would be placed as solids or packaged liquids. There is no control over the movement of activity with the other disposal methods. This is also potentially true for tank storage should corrosion or other damage cause leakage. Storage of highly radioactive wastes pose a problem in handling the heat generated by fission product decay. Thus, it is advantageous to look for a substance of high density and high thermal conductivity to help …

Introduction: In January 1959, Stanford Research Institute was asked by the Office of Maritime Reactors, Division of Reactor Development, of the United States Atomic Energy Commission to identify potential applications of nuclear energy in a marine environment, excluding those involving standard commercial surface ships and direct defense applications, and to conduct a preliminary evaluation of these applications in order to determine which ones appeared most feasible for early implementation.

Preface: In 1948, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, initiated a study of the hydraulics and hydrology of Mohawk River in the vicinity of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) near Schenectady, N.Y. The purpose of this study was to determine the probable effects of release of low concentrations of radioactive wastes from the Laboratory to Mohawk River.
