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."

Underground Effects in the U12n.02 and U12n.03 Drifts, from the Midi Mist (U12n.02) Test, Area 12, Nevada Test Site

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."

Geodimeter Measurement of Earth Strains on Rainier Mesa, Nevada Test Site (open access)

Geodimeter Measurement of Earth Strains on Rainier Mesa, 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."
