Abstract: The report summarizes progress on geologic and hydrologic research related to the disposal of radioactive wastes. The research is described according to whether it is related most directly to (1) high-level and transuranic wastes; (2) low-level wastes, or (3) uranium mill tailings. Included is research applicable to the identification and geohydrologic characterization of waste-disposal sites, to investigations of specific sites where wastes have been stored, and to studies of regions or environments where waste-disposal sites might be located. A significant part of the activity is concerned with techniques and methods for characterizing disposal sites and studies of geologic and hydrologic processes related to the transport and (or) retention of waste radionuclides.

Base from U.S. Geological Survey; Oak Spring, Plutonium Valley, Tippipah Spring, and Yucca Flat 1:24,000, 1960; Jangle Ridge, Mine Mountain, Paiute Ridge, Rainier Mesa, and Yucca Lake 1:24,000, 1961; 20,000 foot grid based on Nevada coordinate system, central zone

From purpose and scope: The purpose of this report is to present all the previously collected hydrogeologic, geophysical, and hydrochemical data on well J-13, and to reanalyze these data, using newly developed methods of analysis.
