Borehole Gravity Meter Observations in Drill Hole Test Well-B, Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site (open access)

Borehole Gravity Meter Observations in Drill Hole Test Well-B, Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site

Abstract: "Fifteen in situ interval densities were calculated from the borehole gravity meter observations made in Test Well-B. The weighted average density for all the rocks sampled by the gravity meter is 1.83 gm/cc. The alluvium density ranges from 1.71 to 1.82 gm/cc and averages 1.76 gm/cc. The lake beds range from 1.91 to 1.93 gm/cc and average 1.92 gm/cc. The Rainier Mesa Member averages 1.83 gm/cc. The Tiva Canyon Member averages 1.74 gm/cc and the upper 110 feet of Topopah Spring Member has a density of 2.30 gm/cc."

Borehole Gravity Meter Observations in Drill Hole UCe-18, Hot Creek Valley, Nye County, Nevada (open access)

Borehole Gravity Meter Observations in Drill Hole UCe-18, Hot Creek Valley, Nye County, Nevada

Abstract: "Drill hole UCe-18 was successfully logged with the U.S. Geological Survey-La Coste Romberg borehole gravity meter to a depth of 6,488 feet. That density increases with depth is apparent in both the alluvium and volcanic rock. The in situ density of the alluvium measured by the gravity meter ranges from 1.77 to 2.34 gm/cc; the lake beds beneath the alluvium have a density of 2.22 gm/cc; and the rhyolitic rocks range in density from 2.26 to 2.47 gm/cc. The average density determined from the borehole gravity meter data for the alluvium plus the lake beds is 2.22 gm/cc and for the volcanic rocks is 2.35 gm/cc."

Evaluation of Brine Desulfating Process As Applied To Desalination Phase 1

Report issued by the Office of Saline Water over studies conducted on the desulfating process at desalination plants. As stated in the introduction, "the explicit purpose of this study is to determine whether or not application of the feed-water desulfating process to the feed to a desalting plant will reduce the overall cost of desalted water" (p. 1). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Technical and economic potentials of shale oil production by nuclear explosives (open access)

Technical and economic potentials of shale oil production by nuclear explosives

"In the following report, a new technology is discussed which was first proposed in 1959, but which has been developed mainly since 1964; the in situ production of oil from shale by large underground retorts created by nuclear explosives. The first part of the present report describes this new process; the second part gives an analysis of the United States and the world endowments with crude oil resources and oil shale deposits and finally, the third part deals with expected cost estimates of this new technology as compared with present crude oil prices and potential costs of conventional shale oil production."

Abstract: "The Midi Mist (U12n.02) event produced rock spalling along bedding, joint, and fault planes in the U12n.02 and U12n.03 drifts. The spalling in the U12n.02 drift started at about construction station 12 + 75 and was continuous toward the W.P. Most of the spalling in the U12n.03 drift occurred between C.S. 0 + 00 and 7 + 00."
