Evidence for an unsaturated-zone origin of secondary minerals in Yucca Mountain, Nevada

Evidence for an unsaturated-zone origin of secondary minerals in Yucca Mountain, Nevada [electronic resource]

The unsaturated zone (UZ) in Miocene-age welded tuffs at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is under consideration as a potential site for the construction of a high-level radioactive waste repository.
