Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Co. Inc., (REECo), completed twenty-seven emplacement holes, including two abandoned holes (U19j and U7bw), and two suspended holes (U31v and U6c), in Fiscal Year 1984. Four of the surface conductors were set in a prior year, as shown on Table 1. Ten holes (including one on Pahute Mesa) were drilled for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Seventeen emplacement holes (including one on Pahute Mesa) were drilled for the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The assigned drilled areas are shown in Figure 1. Emplacement drilling at the Nevada Test Site in Fiscal Year 1984 consisted of 29.7 rig weeks for LLNL at a total cost of $8,951,000 and 38.8 rig weeks for Los Alamos at a total cost of $11,115,000. However, data in this report are limited to the emplacement holes actually completed in Fiscal Year 1984. The average cost per foot for LLNL uncased holes in FY 1984 include U8n and U2gas. Excluding these costs, the average cost per foot would be $364.08. The tabulated average unit cost per foot drilled includes logging, sampling, casing, and cementing plus costs incurred for any remedial work or fishing. Data in this report reflect charges to separate work orders, Site Preparation Drilling and Zero Station Drilling for each emplacement hole.
