Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:145662
This report summarizes progress made during the quarter on site characterization studies for the Yucca Mountain Project. Work is continuing on developing a procedure for dissolution of rock, primarily tuff, so that the samples we received from the USGS can be analyzed. The goal of this effort is to provide chemical data that the USGS and the HRC can use to compare the concentration of about 40 elements in ground water and the host rock through which it moves. This work is being coordinated with a similar effort at the NTS to determine if the ground water chemistry can be used to evaluate leakage or mixing between the tuff and carbonate aquifers.
