Preliminary development of the LBL/USGS three-dimensional site-scale model of Yucca Mountain, Nevada Preliminary development of the LBL/USGS three-dimensional site-scale model of Yucca Mountain, Nevada

A three-dimensional model of moisture flow within the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain is being developed at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This site-scale model covers and area of about 34 km2 and is bounded by major faults to the north, east and west. The model geometry is defined (1) to represent the variations of...
