OSTI ID:6520754
Bendix Field Engineering Corporation performed petrographic and chemical analyses on selected samples from the Palo Duro Basin, Texas. Permian bedded salt in the basin is being evaluated as a candidate nuclear waste repository site. This report summarizes procedures, petrographic data, chemical data, and trends in these data. A total of 38 Unit 4 and Unit 5 salt samples from the Permian Lower San Andres Formation have been examined; in addition, 14 samples from outside the candidate salt horizons were analyzed. Petrographic data were gathered from thin-section analyses, bulk-rock x-ray diffraction, and clay-mineral analyses. Chemical data were derived from analyses of the water-soluble fraction. Samples from outside the salt horizons were also analyzed for whole-rock chemistry. 6 references, 5 figures, 3 tables.
