Baker, B L; Eaton, R R

The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) Project was organized in 1977 to explore the feasibility of siting a high-level waste (HLW) geologic repository on or in the vicinity of the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Investigations have identified a potentially acceptable site located adjacent to the southwestern boundary of the NTS at Yucca Mountain in Nye County, 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas. This document is a compilation of the technical progress reported by Project participants during the third quarter of FY 84. A summary of the project results follows. 2 refs., 2 tabs.
