This report is a review of a paper published in the 5th Annual International Conference on High Level Radioactive Wastes. The paper dealt with fluid inclusion studies of calcite veins from Yucca Mountain. This paper is included with this report. The author of this report analyzes the paper`s theory of the origin of these calcite deposits as dissolution and precipitation of carbonate materials from simple rainwater infiltration. The author reviews some of the methods utilized in the original research and the problems with thermometry of fluid inclusions in calcite. The author also expresses concerns over other laboratory procedures utilized to calculate various compositional values.
