Advances in the Biogeochemical Role of Microorganisms in High‐Level Waste Repository
Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.This review discusses the role of microorganisms in the stability of deep geological repositories for high‐level radioactive waste (HLW). It highlights the survival conditions and sources of microorganisms, their effects on repository structures, and the biogeochemical processes they induce.

Stress Field at Yucca Mountain, Nevada [PDF]
, 1988 Hydraulic fracturing stress measurements performed in four holes (USW G-1, USW G-2, USW G-3, and Ue25P1) indicate that at Yucca Mountain, the least horizontal stress S_h is less than the vertical stress S_v.

Two-dimensional velocity models for paths from Pahute Mesa and Yucca Flat to Yucca Mountain; Yucca Mountain Project [PDF]
, 1990 Vertical acceleration recordings of 21 underground nuclear explosions recorded at stations at Yucca Mountain provide the data for development of three two-dimensional crystal velocity profiles for portions of the Nevada Test Site. Paths from Area 19, Area 20 (both Pahute Mesa), and Yucca Flat to Yucca Mountain have been modeled using asymptotic ray ...

OPTION WEALTH AND BEQUEST VALUES: THE VALUE OF PROTECTING FUTURE GENERATIONS FROM THE HEALTH RISKS OF NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE [PDF]
We devise a simple model of intergenerational altruism under uncertainty. We present an estimable form of the model that relies on a few, plausible, assumptions.

Fault permeability near Yucca Mountain [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 1997 A deep Paleozoic carbonate aquifer is of special concern for the proposed high‐level nuclear repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. It provides a potential pathway for groundwater transport of contaminants from the repository back to the biosphere. The map of groundwater temperature at the water table has been interpreted by several investigators to ...
