| Summary | In the period of developing nuclear power plants up to 1975, the nuclear industry mustered the largest geologic task force in U.S. history, resulting in rapid advances in geologic technologies, many of which are discussed in this book. It covers: the regulatory, siting, and licensing processes; seismicity of the central and western U.S., with a guide to instrumental methods for determination of hypocentres; and techniques, such as remote-sensing, microfacies analysis, dating techniques in faults, trenching as an exploratory method, borehole geophysics, and ground-water studies. |
