Research and development related to the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations. Progress report, January 1--March 31, 1979
- comp.
The results of research and program development related to the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations is presented for Subtasks 3, 2, and 5. Batch sorption measurements have been completed for selected core samples obtained from exploration drill hole UE25A# 1. In general, sorptive properties of the cores are highly favorable for the isotopes studied. Work with tuff is continuing in the areas of crushed rock column studies, sorption ratio studies of U(VI), batch measurements of sorption of {sup 241}Am and {sup 239}Pu, and microautoradiographic work. Petrologic characterization of core samples from drill hole UE25A# 1 is completed; x-ray diffraction analyses are in progress. Field investigations of the basalts of Crater Flat are in progress. Areas of investigation include determination of the eruptive history and structural setting of volcanic centers, determination of magnetic polarity and basalt petrology (petrography and microprobe studies of mineral phases). Quality assurance procedures and work plans were processed for G-6 and CNC-11 programs. Requirements for a quality assurance program for the US Geological Survey are being evaluated.
