Development of Site Suitability Criteria for the High Level Waste Repository for Lawrence Livermore Laboratories
This report presents the results of our mining, geological<br/>and geotechnical studies provided in support of the development<br/>of site suitability criteria for the high level waste<br/>repository. This work was performed in accordance with our<br/>unsolicited proposal to LLL dated January 1977 and authorized<br/>by the University Purchase Order 6115603.
Report of Early Site Suitability Evaluation of the Potential Repository Site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Report of Early Site Suitability Evaluation of the Potential Repository Site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
This study evaluated the technical suitability of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a potential site for a mined geologic repository for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste. The evaluation was conducted primarily to determine early in the site characterization program if there are any features or conditions at the site that indicate it is unsuitable for repository development. A secondary purpose was to determine the status of<br/>knowledge in the major technical areas that affect the suitability of the site.

CHARACTERIZATION OF CRYSTALLINE ROCKS IN THE LAKE SUPERIOR REGION, USA: IMPLICATIONS FOR NUCLEAR WASTE ISOLATION
CHARACTERIZATION OF CRYSTALLINE ROCKS IN THE LAKE SUPERIOR REGION, USA: IMPLICATIONS FOR NUCLEAR WASTE ISOLATION
The Lake Superior region (Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Minnesota) contains 41 Precambrian crystalline (medium- to coarse-grained igneous and high-grade mstamorphic) rock complexes comprising 64 individual but related rock bodies with known surface exposures. Each complex has a map area greater than 78 km2. About 54% of the rock complexes have areas of up to 500 km2, 15% fall between 500 km2 and 1000 km2, 19% lie between 1000 km2 and 2500 km2, and 12% are over 2500 km2. Crystalline rocks of the region vary widely in composition, but they are predominantly granitic.

REGION-TO-AREA SCREENING METHODOLOGY FOR THE CRYSTALLINE REPOSITORY PROJECT
The Crystalline Repository Project (CRP) of the Department of Energy's Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Program is responsible for identifying sites which could be considered by the Department for construction and operation of the second deep geologic repository for permanent disposal of high-level radioactive waste. The CRP is currently evaluating exposed and near surface crystalline rock bodies in three geographic regions in an effort to identify potentially suitable rock bodies for continued evaluations and eventual field investigations.

Waste Isolation Projects - FY 1977
The primary goal of the ongoing LLL program is to develop the technology and data base required to license a nuclear repository in a crystalline rock medium, located at or near the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Our secondary goal is to apply this technology in helping the Department of Energy (DOE) develop repositories in other media and locations.
