Outline of Geology of the U12k and U12k.01 Tunnels, Area 12, Nevada Test Site (open access)

Outline of Geology of the U12k and U12k.01 Tunnels, Area 12, Nevada Test Site

From introduction: Descriptive data for the Ul2k tunnel system are summarized in table 1. The U12k and U12k.01 tunnels were driven in predominantly air-fall tuffs of the Grouse Canyon and Survey Butte Members of the Oak Spring Formation of- Miocene(?) or younger age. The base of the Grouse Canyon Member is exposed in the road cut 500 to 700 feet east of, and at the same approximate elevation as, the portal U12k tunnel. The contact of the Grouse Canyon Member with the younger Survey Butte Member is at.5+63R and 5+56L in Ul2k.O1L (Personnel tunnel) and at 7+08R and 7+03L in U12k.O1R (Line of sight tunnel). A total of 165 feet of tuff of the Grouse Canyon Member is exposed in and near the tunnel, but only 74 feet of the Survey Butte Member is exposed in the U12k tunnel system.

Gravity Survey of the Nevada Test Site and Vicinity, Nye, Lincoln, and Clark Counties, Nevada: Interim Report

From introduction: The gravity survey of the Nevada Test Site and contiguous areas of southern Nevada and southeastern California has been made by the U.S. Geological Survey on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The objective of this study is to delineate and interpret gravity anomalies and regional trends so that the configuration and depth of the buried erosional surface of the Paleozoic rocks may be determined.

Ground-Water Investigations of the Project GNOME Area, Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico

From abstract: The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, through the Office of Test Operations, Albuquerque Operations Office, plans to detonate a nuclear device in a massive salt bed 1,200 feet beneath the land surface. The project, known as Project Gnome, is an element of the Plowshare program--a study of peacetime applications of nuclear fission. The location of the proposed underground shot is in a sparsely-populated area in southeastern Eddy County, N. Mex., east of the Pecos River and about 25 miles southeast of the city of Carlsbad.
