OSTI ID:5498016
This paper examines geology and hydrologic characteristics of six regions in the Basin and Range Province, ranging in size from 21,6000 to 80,000 square kilometers to identify prospective areas for further study that may provide isolation of high-level radioactive waste from the accessible environment. Six regions selected were evaluated with respect to: occurrence of potential repository media; prospects for tectonic stability; climatic change and geomorphic processes; ground-water flow conditions providing long flow times; and occurrence of mineral and energy resources.
