ABSTRACT
The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory was established in 1949 by what is now called the Department of Energy. The site covers about 890 sq mi on the Eastern Snake River Plain. Acoustic-televiewer, television, caliper, acoustic-velocity, and single-point resistance logs have all been used to determine the location, character, and continuity of fractures at other waste disposal sites and were all applied to the Hardage site. Dearborn, Calkin, and Andolsek establish a site-specific relationship between heat-pulse flowmeter measurements and vertical head gradients calculated from static packer tests at Loring Air Force Base. Several sites on Cape Cod have been used to investigate borehole geophysical methods as applied to waste migration. A comprehensive borehole geophysics logging program was planned to be an integral part of the expert panel investigations carried out at the waste disposal site. Coarser-grained rocks are also indicated by higher resistivity and smoother borehole wall.
