Reports include information on underground nuclear testing and waste management projects at the NTS (Nevada Test Site) and radioactive waste projects at the WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant) site, New Mexico. The bibliography is divided into three categories: (1) reports regarding underground nuclear testing, (2) waste management projects at the NTS, and (3) waste management studies at the WIPP site. Reports are listed in each category by publication outlet. The USGS-474 series reports pertain to underground nuclear testing studies and are cross referenced to administrative (or in-house) series (for example, USGS-474-228 is cross referenced as Area 12-44). The administrative series are used to break down the USGS-474 series for more specific area identification. A list of cross references is shown on page 7. Figure 1 shows the location of the NTS and locations of numbered testing areas on the site.
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.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
