This corrective action decision document (CADD)/corrective action plan (CAP) has been prepared for the Central and Western Pahute Mesa (PM) Corrective Action Units (CAUs) 101 and 102. Corrective action is needed because underground radioactive contamination exists in these areas resulting from historic underground nuclear testing. The PM CAUs are located in the northwestern portion of the Nevada National Security Site and comprise 82 corrective action sites. A total of 85 underground nuclear detonations took place within the area covered by the PM CAUs between 1965 and 1992 and resulted in the release of radionuclides (RNs) in the subsurface in the vicinity of the test cavities.
