Bibliography of publications prepared by U.S. Geological Survey personnel under cooperative programs with the U.S. Department of Energy and predecessor agencies, 1957-1991, with emphasis on nuclear testing programs

Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey has participated in continuing studies related to nuclear energy in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy and predecessor agencies since the 1940's. Geologic, geophysical, and hydrologic studies have been conducted to aid in mineral exploration; in support of the nuclear weapons testing programs at the Nevada Test Site and several other locations; in support of the Plowshare Program for peaceful uses of nuclear explosions; and in the search for potential radioactive waste disposal sites. This bibliography contains alphabetical listings of 850 publications and 95 additional abstracts related to these investigations from 1957 through 1991, and contains an extensive index based on title-subject keywords.
