Hydrostratigraphic units within the alluvium and tertiary volcanics of East Central Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site
… from 46 boreholes in East Central Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site, are used to develop lithostratigraphic and hydrostratigraphic columns. Non-zeolitized volcanic lithostratigraphic units geologically correlate to hydrostratigraphic units. Zeolitized volcanic lithostratigraphic units are combined …

Comparison and correlation of lithostratigraphic and hydrostratigraphic units of southwest area 20, Pahute Mesa, Nevada test site
… UE-20f and UE-20d located in Pahute Mesa of the Nevada Test Site based upon relative changes in porosity and permeability as recorded by geophysical logs. A comparison of hydrostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic units within these wells revealed sufficient variation in the unit-boundary …

Modeling the rates of lead and strontium uptake by zeolitized tuff from Rainier Mesa, Nevada Test Site, Nevada
… of contaminants released during nuclear testing at the NTS are partly controlled by interactions of their aqueous species with mineral surfaces. It has been shown that retardation of contaminants in the subsurface may be controlled by intraparticle mass transfer rather than equilibrium …

The development of a job-related non-discriminatory physical abilities test for the firefighters at the Nevada Test Site
… non-discriminatory Physical Abilities Test (PAT) was developed for the Nevada Test Site (NTS) firefighters. The PAT was developed through firefighter interviews and tabulated call responses between 1990 and 1995. The interviews and task history yielded a job analysis from which six …

Bench-scale modeling to evaluate the mechanical effects of subsidence on a monofill-type landfill cover
… landfills of the Radioactive Waste Management Sites of the Nevada Test Site. Of particular interest is the collapse mechanism of the cover with respect to the soil density and compaction water content. Collapse in covers compacted at lower water content was in the form of progressive upward …

Radiation exposure liability : the burden of responsibility and compensation in civilian and military nuclear ventures
… Two case studies, Three Mile Island and the Nevada Test Site, allow for the examination of radiation injury liability in the context of existing radiation compensation systems. The Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act, which governs civilian nuclear use, and the Radiation Exposure …

Geochemical interpretation on groundwater flow in the Southern Great Basin
… groundwater flow paths in and around the Nevada Test Site (NTS) is important due to the possible migration of contaminated groundwater to the neighboring communities; Harry Reid Center collected a total of 118 samples from the NTS and surrounding area (e.g., Oasis Valley, Ash Meadows, …

The historical origins of the American Peace Test
… the historical origins of the anti-nuclear protest group, the American Peace Test (APT), which has focused its activities at the Nevada Test Site. This study concludes that interest in direct action was evident during the 1983-1984 Direct Action Framework Period within the Nuclear Weapons …

Dating of fallout in lacustrine sediment in southwestern Utah
… Utah which received the highest fallout from Nevada Test Site (NTS) nuclear testing during the period 1951-1959. The reservoir was shown to have a constant sedimentation rate and to be relatively undisturbed. A 40 centimeter (cm) core taken from this reservoir contained sediment deposited …

The Last Frontier; or, Going Critical; or, Nuclear Deference in Las Vegas
… is America’s most psychically important nuclear site—Las Vegas, Nevada. My research seeks to bring together two neglected strains of American literary inquiry—one we avoid because of its seriousness, the other for its superficiality. By excavating Las Vegas as a nuclear site, my research provides …
