This is a geological map of the Dead Horse Flat quadrangle in Nye County, Nevada.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to estimate the worldwide distribution of a few broad categories of naturally occurring materials found on the land surface of the earth.

Abstract: A large amount of water leaks through the floor of Lake McMillan to underground solution channels or openings in the gypsiferous Seven Rivers Formation.

From introduction: This report evaluates four possible types of subsurface reservoirs for radioactive wastes in the Williston basin.

From introduction: This summary report of the geology of the Appalachian basin was prepared as part of the Radioactive Disposal Program being conducted by the USGS on behalf of the Division of Reactor Development of the AEC.

The following report follows geological investigations made on the 410 Area of the Nevada Test Site.

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 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.

Abstract: "Crandallite ores may be useful in the treatment of nuclear waste solutions because of their reactivity with strontium in weakly acid solutions and in alkaline solutions containing aluminum. The exchange capacity of the crandallite samples studies is not very high, being 6-10 miliequivalents of strontium and 2 milliequivalents of cesium per 100 grams of active phosphatic material. However, strontium removal is many times more effective from alkaline solutions, precipitation being the dominant mechanism. The removal of strontium is even more complete in alkaline solutions containing aluminate ions."

Report discussing the use of chemical concentrations of certain elements in uranium deposits of the Colorado Plateau as a guide for the size of the deposits.

Report discussing a study of the distribution, volume, and lithologies of sedimentary rocks of the Colorado Plateau, and of the distribution of elements contained within these rocks.

The following is a semiannual progress report, preliminary in nature, covering work done in the period of December 1, 1958 to May 31, 1959.

From introduction: Approximately fifty radioactive deposits and nearly fifty properties not abnormally radioactive were examined during a geologic reconnaissance for radioactive minerals in Idaho, Washington, and western Montana during the period July 1952 -- June 1955. The most important uranium deposits are in or near granitic to quartz monzonitic intrusions of probable Cretaceous age in central and northern Idaho, westernmost Montana, and northeastern Washington. The purpose of these reports is to describe the geology of the areas so that the possibilities for the disposal of high-level radioactive fluid waste in deep wells can be ascertained.

From introduction: This report details the results of instrument recordings of a nuclear explosion where ground zero was near the top of Rainier Mesa.

This report presents results of a geological study of the Little Cone quadrangle in southwestern Colorado, as well as information on the mineralogy of the location.

From foreword: This report details geologic investigations of radioactive deposits in the United States.

Abstract: "In this report is assembled the available information about the dissociation and melting of the alkali and the alkaline earth carbonates and the binary systems they form with each other. Information is also included about the oxides formed on dissociation of the carbonates, and when it exists pertinent information about the effect of water. Because the carbonates are compounds in binary systems that contain the volatile CO2 component, the report contains a discussion of the complicated phase equilibrium relations in systems in which a compound is formed between volatile and nonvolatile components, including a discussion both of systems in which the solubility curve does not and does intersect the critical curve."

The following report covers the study of the Chattanooga shale and Maury formation found between the Nashville Basin and the surrounding Highland Rim.
