Thermal-conductivity data for tuffs from the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain, Nevada: Yucca Mountain Project
Description
This report is primarily a means of transmitting thermal-conductivity data to the Yucca Mountain Project properties data base. As such, the majority of the report is a compilation of these data for 45 samples of tuffaceous rocks from Yucca Mountain, Nevada; some of the data have been published previously. Brief discussions of the experiment technique (transient-line-source) and experiment uncertainties also are included. The accuracy of the thermal-conductivity data cannot be assessed at present; precision (repeatability) has been determined to be better than /+ -/2%, in most cases. 15 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab
