Drillers' logs of wells in the Hanford reservation. Volume II [PDF]
More than 3000 wells and test holes have been drilled within the Hanford Reservation. Information on these wells range from complete sample suites complemented by bore hole geophysical studies to no record at all. Often the driller's log is the only record available for a well. This report is a product of the continuing project aimed at quantifying the

Plant sizes and shapes above and belowground and their interactions with climate
Summary Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and shapes remain poorly characterized across climate regimes. We investigated relationships among shoot and root system size and climate.

Thermal noise from optical coatings in gravitational wave detectors [PDF]
Gravitational waves are a prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity. These waves are created by massive objects, like neutron stars or black holes, oscillating at speeds appreciable to the speed of light. The detectable effect on the Earth of

Federal Contractor Liability: The Hanford Decision [PDF]
During World War II, the U.S. Government sought out contractors in the name of “patriotism” to research and develop nuclear materials for this country’s defense. Nearly seventy years later, we are still dealing with the effects of that research. However,

Environmental status of the Hanford Reservation for CY-1972 [PDF]
Data are summarized on radioactivity in environmental samples collected during 1972 within the Hanford plant boundaries, but excluding areas under the control of individual contractors. Some data are included on samples collected off-site. Data are included on the content of /sup 90/Sr, tritium, and total alpha radioactivity in samples of Columbia ...

Environmental status of the Hanford reservation for 1970 [PDF]
Data are summarized on the radioactivity in environmental samples collected from various locations within the Hanford plant boundaries during 1970. Data are included on the content of /sup 90/Sr, /sup 32/P, /sup 46/Sc, /sup 51/ Cr, /sup 65/Zn, /sup 131/I, /sup 2 4/Na and tritium in samples of water from the Columbia River; the total BETA activity in ...

Hydrogeology of the uppermost confined aquifers underlying the Hanford Reservation [PDF]
This paper discusses the regional geology and hydrology of the Hanford Reservation with emphasis on the characteristics of the Lower Ringold Formation and the Columbia River Basalts and interbeds. These formations constitute the uppermost confined flow systems underlying the Hanford Reservation.

Ecological aspects of decommissioning and decontamination of facilities on the Hanford Reservation [PDF]
The Hanford environment and biota are described in relation to decommissioning of obsolescent facilities contaminated with low-levels of radioactive materials. The aridity at Hanford limits both the productivity and diversity of biota. Both productivity and diversity are increased when water is added, as for example on the margins of ponds.

Environmental status of the Hanford reservation for July--December 1969 [PDF]
Data are reported on the radioactivity of environmental samples collected from locations within the Hanford plant boundaries during the last six months of 1969. Data are included on: the total alpha activity and content of / sup 90/Sr and tritium in samples of Columbia River water; the total BETA activity of samples of drinking water; the total alpha ,
