A carbon-14 calibrated discrete-state compartment model of the groundwater flow system, Yucca Mountain and vicinity, Nevada-California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1991)A carbon-14 calibrated discrete-state compartment model simulates the regional groundwater flow system in southern Nevada yielding estimates of long term average annual recharge volumes, groundwater ages, volumetric flow, ... -

Analysis of techniques for estimating potential recharge and shallow unsaturated zone water balance near Yucca Mountain, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1990)Partitioning of precipitation was examined over two years to evaluate moisture potentially available for groundwater recharge at Yucca Mountain. Monitoring soil moisture movement was accomplished using Time Domain Reflectometry. -

Assessment of rock bolt systems for underground nuclear waste storage
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1993)A rock bolt performance study was conducted to determine which bolt systems should be considered as possible long-term underground support for the waste emplacement areas at Yucca Mountain. Passive, flexible, corrosion ... -

Characterization of the effects of lithophysae on the tensile strength of the Topapah Spring Tuff
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1993)A study was conducted to determine the effects of lithophysae on the tensile strength of the lithophysal zone of the Topapah Spring Tuff from Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada. Lithophysae did have an effect on the direction ... -

Crustal structure in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1986)The travel times for five USGS refraction profiles in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain have been reparameterized in terms of delay time and ray parameter to obtain extremal velocity-depth bounds for the region. -

Hydrocarbon potential of Yucca Mountain, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1989)Results suggest that only certain source rocks at the Nevada Test Site are in the peak oil generation window. -

Joint roughness and fractal geometry
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1991)Two analytical methods are used to characterize surface roughness of sixteen samples of Topopah Spring welded Tuff. Testing and analysis produced reliable JRC values and fractal dimensions for each sample. -

Numerical analysis of infiltration and near-surface percolation in relation to Yucca Mountain, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1987)Infiltration and near-surface percolation in relation to Yucca Mountain were studied. Numerical analysis of infiltration into soil and bedrock at Yucca Mountain was useful in delineating parameter control within the flow system. -

Seismic refraction surveys of alluvium-filled washes, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1985)Seismic refraction surveys were conducted in washes near Yucca Mountain to determine depths to the interface between unsaturated alluvium and unsaturated bedrock. Analysis of seismic data from 11 locations in three washes ... -

Uniaxial test and mechanical behavior analysis of the tuffaceous beds of Calico Hills, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1993)Uniaxial compression tests were performed on specimens of the tuff found in the Calico Hills near Yucca Mountain. The mechanical properties of the tuffs from the same stratigraphic location are highly consistent and vary ...
