Hydrology of Yucca Mountain, Nevada Hydrology of Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Yucca Mountain, located in southern Nevada in the Mojave Desert, is being considered as a geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste. Although the site is arid, previous studies indicate net infiltration rates of 5-10 mm yr-1 under current climate conditions. Unsaturated flow of water through the mountain generally is vertical and rapid through the fractures of the welded tuffs...

Characterization of hydrogeologic units using matrix properties, Yucca Mountain, Nevada Characterization of hydrogeologic units using matrix properties, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Determination of the suitability of Yucca Mountain, in southern Nevada, as a geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste requires the use of numerical flow and transport models. Input for these models includes parameters that describe hydrologic properties and the initial and boundary conditions for all rock materials within the unsaturated zone, as well as some of the upper...

Improved method for measuring water imbibition rates on low-permeability porous media Improved method for measuring water imbibition rates on low-permeability porous media
Existing methods for measuring water imbibition rates are inadequate when imbibition rates are small (e.g., clay soils and many igneous rocks). We developed an improved laboratory method for performing imbibition measurements on soil or rock cores with a wide range of hydraulic properties. Core specimens are suspended from an electronic strain gauge (load cell) in a closed chamber while
