Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of the geological exploration activities being carried out as part of the National Waste Terminal Storage (NWTS) Program, which has been established by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop the technology and provide the facilities for the safe, environmentally acceptable isolation of civilian high-level and transuranic nuclear wastes, including spent fuel elements, for which the Federal government is reponsible. The principal programmatic emphasis is on disposal in mined geologic repositories. Explorations are being conducted or planned in various parts of the country to identify potential sites for such repositories. The work is being undertaken by three separate but coordinated NWTS project elements. Under the Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP), basalt formations underlying DOE's Hanford Reservation are being investigated. Granite, tuff, and shale formations at the DOE Nevada Test Site (NTS) are being similarly studied in the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI). The Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI) is investigating domed salt formations in several Gulf Coast states and bedded salt formations in Utah and Texas. Th ONWI siting studies are being expanded to include areas overlying crystalline rocks, shales, and other geohydrologic systems. The current status of these NWTS efforts, including the projected budgets for FY 1981, is summarized, and the criteria and methodology being employed in the explorations are described. The consistency of the overall effort with the recommendations presented in the Report to the President by the Interagency Review Group on Nuclear Waste Management (IRG), as well as with documents representing the national technical consensus, is discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evaluation is made of radioactivity logging as applied to exploration drilling on the Colorado Plateau. The compilation of data gives a preliminary insight into the possibilities of the technique being applied. A comparison has also been made of the results obtained by the logglng units of the U. S. Geological Suryey, The Texas Company, and the Colorado Exploration Branch. rhe work performed by the Commission has demonstrated that it is possible to utilize a gamma-ray log for geologic interpretation and for obtaining approximate assay values. Gamma-ray logging is a definite aid to exploratory drilling in detecting radioactivity anomalies and providing an accurate geologic log. Extensive application of this technique may reduce the over-all cost of drilling through reduction of the amount of coring required and mnke possible a close coordination of geologic planning with the drilling operation. Operational legging and experimentation have proved that equipment now being used by the Colorado Exploration Branch provides satisfactory operation in the following respects: provides sofficient sensitivity, gives a linear response, reproduces a log when re-runs are made in the same hole several days apart and under dissimilar weather condi- tions, produces a log in which the statistical fluctuations do not affect the interpretation, and has an adequate range of sensitivity scales. It has been demonstrated that a single logging unit, with provision for field maintenance, can log the total footage being drilled on a project today. It is concluded that a complete gamma-ray logging seryice will be a decided asset to the exploration drilling program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PHYSICAL GEOLOGY: EXPLORING THE EARTH, Sixth Edition, doesn't just explain physical geology and its processes; it places that knowledge within the context of human experience by consistently emphasizing relevance, resources, and the environment. With this edition, the authors seek to answer two central questions, "How does the planet work?" and "Why is this important to know?" By discussing the unifying theory of plate tectonics in detail early in the text, the authors are able to link diverse material by this common thread, providing a global perspective of Earth and allowing students to recognize seemingly unrelated geologic phenomena as a continuum of interrelated events within a complete planetary system. In addition to providing students with an understanding of geology and its processes, the authors consistently demonstrate how geology relates to the human experience. By asking the question "What would you do?" throughout the text, students are encouraged to explore their reactions to particular situations. New "Geology in Your Life" sections address relevant student concerns, particularly in the areas of environment and energy. And a new penultimate chapter on Resources and the Fate of the Earth ties together many of the concepts of particular interest to students. This edition is fully integrated with the online student tutorial system Physical GeologyNow?. Physical GeologyNow uses a series of chapter-specific diagnostic tests to build a personalized learning plan for each student, allowing students to focus their study time on specific areas of weaknesses. Each personalized learning plan directs students to specific chapter sections and concept-driven multimedia tutorials designed to augment their understanding.
