Photograph of the ruins of a wooden dwelling on the top of a cliff in a desert region of New Mexico. The photo includes a small town on the edge of the adjacent cliff top. The ground is littered with rocks, small bushes, and patches of snow.

From introduction: This report describes a stratigraphic core hole known as ERDA No. 9 drilled at the approximate center of the WIPP site.

Photograph of a forest with snow covering the trees South of Taos, New Mexico. The photo includes a clearing in front of a wall of tall conifer trees covered in snow with a small path-like gap in the trees.

Photograph of an adobe gateway to a pueblo catholic cemetery with the Spanish phrase "Dios Da Y Dios Quita" written over the entrance near Penasco New Mexico. The photo includes metal and wooden gates. The phrase "Dios Da Y Dios Quita" translates to God gives and God takes away.

A column-flow cesium migration experiment has been conducted in support of the safety assessment program for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Southeastern New Mexico. The column was a monolithic cylinder of Magenta dolomite obtained from a core sample drilled near the proposed WIPP site. The fluid was a Magenta equilibrated de-ionized water solution that had been doped with 0.001 ppM of /sup 137/Cs. The experiment ran continuously for an 18 month period at flow rates comparable to those measured for natural groundwater at the site. After flowing for 18 months, the apparatus was disassembled and the dolomite column examined for cesium distribution. Cross sectional radiographs of the sample showed that most of the cesium had penetrated only 0.4 cm into the solid Magenta column with a well defined wave front. On the other hand, trace quantities (2 x 10/sup -7/ ppM) of /sup 137/Cs were detected in effluent samples collected during the experiment. The distribution coefficient (120 ml/gm) calculated (assuming porous flow) from the average depth of cesium penetration (0.3 cm) is considerably less than the value obtained from a batch equilibration measurement made on the same system (650 ml/gm), indicating that cesium will migrate through Magenta rock …

Discussing samples collected by the Los Alamos National Laboratory for a detailed geochemical survey of uranium in the northern San Andreas Mountains and the Oscura Mountains of south-central New Mexico.

Abstract: Field and laboratory data are presented for 161 water samples and 235 sediment samples from the Douglas Quadrangle, Arizona; New Mexico. Uranium values have been reported by Los Alamos National Laboratory in Report GJBX-69(78). The samples were collected by Los Alamos National Laboratory; laboratory analysis and data reporting were performed by Uranium Resource Evaluation Project at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Data collected as part of the Douglas Quadrangle in Arizona including laboratory and field data on waters and sediments.
