Geochemical laboratory support for Subtask 3.2.2, Tuff Media Investigations; geologic support for Subtask 2.5, Tectonics, Seismicity, and Volcanism; and administrative support for Subtask 5.2, Quality Control are presented. Mineralogic-petrologic examination of material from Yucca Mountain hole UE25A#1 is nearing completion. Sorption measurements on tuff from holes J-13 and UE25A#1 are continuing with both natural and synthetic ground waters and under aerobic and anoxic conditions. Column work is continuing. A standardized batch procedure for Am and Pu has been adopted. A preliminary probability analysis has been performed for volcanic hazards of the Crater Flats basalts.
