Geologic and Seismic Investigations of Proposed Nuclear Power Plant Site on Bodega Head, Sonoma County, California (open access)

Geologic and Seismic Investigations of Proposed Nuclear Power Plant Site on Bodega Head, Sonoma County, California

The following report covers the study of the site adjacent to Campbell Cove on Bodega Head, Sonoma County, California, focusing on questions such as: 1) its position relative to the San Andreas fault zone; 2) the possibility that minor faults, related to the San Andreas fault, might actually pass through the site; and 3) the seismic hazards posed by the nearby San Andreas fault zone.

Geologic Summary of the Central Valley of California with Reference to the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (open access)

Geologic Summary of the Central Valley of California with Reference to the Disposal of Radioactive Waste

From introduction: This report describes the geology of the area only to the extent necessary for preliminary evaluation of the possibilities for the disposal of liquid radioactive waste by injection through deep wells. Their value will increase with development of extensive commercial production of atomic power and attendant creation of radioactive waste from the processing of spent fuel elements. The disposal of liquid waste in deep reservoirs is only one of several possibilities that must be considered.
