Initial land reclamation procedures related to possible Pu-cleanup activities at the Tonopah Test Range

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7120627
;
If areas of the Tonopah Test Range (TTR) are to be used for experimental tests of procedures for clean-up of /sup 239/Pu contamination, there are experiences in the Great Basin Desert portions of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) which can serve as guides to reclamation and revegetation of such arid lands. Procedures which will encourage development of the grasses Hilaria jamesii and Oryzopsis hymenoides, as well as the perennial shrubs Eurotia lanata and Atriplex canescens would greatly improve the area as range land.
