The following report covers the study of a small composite stock at Oak Spring, Nevada, known as Climax granite to study the seismic effect of a deep nuclear explosion contained in a large volume of unfractured rock.

From Abstract: "The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Health Physics Research Reactor is to be attached to a hoist platform on a 1500-ft tower at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The project is a continuation of the studies commenced in 1956 for evaluating the radiation doses of persons exposed to nuclear weapons, especially the residents of Hiroshima and Nagaski, Japan. Measurements will be made of the energy, angular, and spatial distributions of the radiation from the reactor."

From summary: Site investigations were conducted at two locations, the sites of the DUGOUT and CHARLIE events, at the Nevada Test Site for the purpose of evaluating the dynamic in situ technique as a means of determining the boundaries of craters produced by explosive detonations.

This report summarizes the geological analyses of one of the preliminary cross sections from the Pahute Mesa in the Nevada Test Site, particularly the uppermost Precambrian-Paleozoic strata.

The following report summarizes descriptive geological and lithological data for the U12i tunnel system in the Nevada test site.

A report outlining the geology of the U12i and U12i.01 tunnels and the lithology of the U12i.01 drill hole, located at a Nevada test site. Prepared on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

This report documents the use of the dislocation theory to analyze measured vertical displacements across a fault near the Duryea underground nuclear explosion.

From introduction: Under the general supervision of the Health Division of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, the U.S. Geological Survey is participating in geologic and hydrologic studies of the tile field constructed in Jackass Flats in the southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site as related to waste disposal, M. D. Shutler rendered valuable assistance in obtaining and evaluating portions of the data in this report. These investigations were done on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and were supported by the Division of Reactor Development and by the Albuquerque Operations Office.

From introduction: The general objectives of this Geological Survey were to study the geologic and geophysical studies of the effects of underground nuclear explosions under Rainier Mesa.

Abstract: As a part of continuous geologic and geophysical investigations at the Nevada Test Site, gamma-radioactivity measurements are being made in tunnels and drill holes to determine semiquantitatively the natural gamma radioactivity of geologic formations and the distribution of nuclear-explosion-produced radioisotopes.

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.

Report concerning the protection offered against radioactive fallout offered by two types of structures at the Nevada Test Site. Differences between above ground and underground structures are measured and compared to data taken from actual fallout conditions.

From abstract: This report summarizes the porosity, density, and water content data on about 200 tuff specimens from the Tunnel Beds which compose the lower member of the Oak Spring Formation of Miocene (?) or younger age at the Ul2e tunnel, Rainier Mesa, Nevada Test Site.

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 summarizes results on surveys taken by the U.S. Geological Survey made to determine the seismic velocity, electrical resistivity, and preliminary geology of rock in the U12n.03 tunnel, Nevada Test Site.

This report summarizes the results of the U.S. Geological Survey geophysical and geological studies of the rock in the U16a.04 tunnel in the Nevada Test Site.

The following report summarizes the geological and geophysical studies made on the rocks of the Midi Mist site in the Area-12 tunnel complex of the Nevada Test Site. The data was needed to determine whether the rock met the technical criteria of the nuclear experiment.

The following report summarizes the geophysical studies of the rocks made in the U12e.10 tunnel of the Nevada Test Site.
