Yucca Mountain, located about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, has been proposed as the site for permanent underground disposal of high-level radioactive waste from the nation's civilian nuclear power plants. To resolve concerns raised by a Department of Energy (DOE) staff scientist concerning the potential for ground water to rise 1,000 feet to the level proposed for the repository, DOE requested this study to evaluate independently the past history and future potential of large upward excursions of the ground water beneath Yucca Mountain. 606 $aGroundwater$zNevada$zYucca Mountain 606 $aRadioactive waste disposal$zNevada$zYucca Mountain 615 0$aGroundwater 615 0$aRadioactive waste disposal 676 $a551.49/09793/34 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971034803321 996 $aGround water at Yucca Mountain$94357052 997 $aUNINA
