This GEOTHERM sample file contains 1367 records for Nevada. The records contain data on location, sample description, analysis type, collection condition, flow rates, and the chemical and physical properties of the fluid. Stable and radioactive isotope data are occassionally available. (ACR)

Report discussing the methods, data, and analysis of results for "An experimental study designed to provide a basis for estimating protection against fallout radiation " (p. v) using one- and two-story structures with basements.

Abstract: "Weights of linear high-explosive charges fired on the Yucca Lake playa of the Nevada Test Site varied from 0.23 to 42.7 pounds per foot. Crater and ditch dimensions and volumes resulting from these shots, fired during the fall of 1959 and spring of 1960, are presented here as a function of charge burst depths. Scaling relationships determined are as expected; i.e., square-root scaling of linear-charge weight per foot for ditch width and depth and a direct linear-charge weight relationship to ditch volume are obtained. Permanent ground surface displacement varies as the -3.22 power of the scaled distance from the charge. Detonation effects, charge shape effects, ditch erosion, and ditch cross sections are discussed. The appendixes present Toboggan data, results of soil investigation, and mathematical treatment given the data."

This report was formed after the study of the Nevada Test Site to examine parts of the thick miogeosynclinical section of the Paleozoic rocks and post-Paleozoic structural features for the sole purpose of determining the walking stops for future field trips to the test site.

The following data report presents results of ground water and stream/surface sediment reconnaissance in the Wells quadrangle, Nevada.

This report summarizes the stratigraphy, lithology, and physical properties studied in the UE12p#1 exploratory diamond drill hole at the Nevada Test Site.

Abstract: "Geodimeter surveys were made on four traverses near the east scarp of Rainier Mesa between October 27, 1967 and April 26, 1968. These measurements were made in order to determine if an changes in distance between survey stations had resulted from downslope creep of the rocks behind the scarp, or if any displacements had resulted from nuclear explosions beneath the mesa and in adjacent areas. A persistent small but possibly significant, slopeward displacement was measured along one traverse and may represent detachment of a large block; monitoring for an additional period of time is recommended."

From introduction: This report summarizes the available hydrologic information for a part of Nevada surrounding the Nevada Test Site. It emphasizes the possibility that ground water may move from one basin to another, whereas the usual concept heretofore has been that the ground water of the region generally occurs in basins that are closed or nearly closed.

From introduction: The geologic studies in the U12e.04 tunnel within the Nevada Test Site were conducted for the purpose of determining the structure and chemical and physical properties of the tuffs exposed in the tunnel.

From introduction: This report summarizes the work that was done at the wells and brings together the available data on depth to bottom, depth to water level, discharge rate, and draw-down for each well, together with coefficients of transmissibility determined in aquifer tests.

From introduction: This report presents engineering details, history, well logs, and a brief geologic interpretation of the Carson Sink, Nevada, drilling program. A geologic report is in preparation and the geologic information contained herein is of a preliminary nature.

Supplementary data containing borehole logging reports to accompany a geologic report of the Carson Sink, Nevada.

From introduction: The "Granite" exploration hole was core drilled to determine the character of the igneous rocks from the surface to a depth of 1,200 feet and the degree of structural anisotropism of the rock within 200 feet of a point 950 feet below the surface. This report summarizes the data on the structure, chemistry, petrology and alteration of the rocks exposed at the surface in the immediate vicinity of the drill site and in the core.

From Introduction: "The Reno Quadrangle, Nevada and California (Fig. 1), was evaluated to a depth of 1500 m (5,000 ft) to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for uranium deposits. Favorable environments are those that could contain at least 100 tons U3O8 at an average grade of at least 0.01% U3O8."

From introduction: The objective of this survey is to develop a geochemical data base for use by the private sector to locate regions of anomalous uranium content. Prior to wide area coverage, several pilot studies are being undertaken to develop and evaluate sampling and analytical techniques. The first of these studies was conducted in the Walker River Basin.

Report discussing the U.S. Geological Survey's analysis of radioactive rocks collected from Nevada before 1952.

Abstract: Ground-water test well 2 was drilled to a depth of 3,422 feet with rotary and cable tool drilling equipment.

The following report provides a geological map of the Deadhorse Flat quadrangle, Nye County, Nevada.

From Introduction: "The Elko Quandrangle, in northeastern Nevada and western Utah between latitude 40º and 41º and longitude 114º and 116º (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic units and delineate areas that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Geologic environments were evaluated on the basis of surface investigations and limited subsurface data."
