- Summary:
- Seven hydrology and geochemistry studies form a companion volume to the 2007 Geology and Climatology of Yucca Mountain and Vicinity. Both volumes present a comprehensive approach to characterizing a potential site for the disposal of radioactive waste. After an introduction to the science and the political controversy, the topics are the hydrology of the unsaturated zone, the saturated zone hydrology, the fluid geochemistry, the paleohydrology of unsaturated and saturated zones, conditions and processes affecting radionuclide transport, and effects of coupled processes on the proposed repository.
