Determine the suitability of sea floor sediments for radioactive waste disposal.
Location
Farallon Islands, California, United States, North America, North Pacific;
Summary
Short cores: 6 (3 stations; 2 box cores at each station).
Comments
No field activity documentation available. Information gleaned from open-file report OFR 87-600 describing analyses on 6 box cores, two taken at each of 3 sites southwest of the Farallon Islands in a dumpsite last used in 1965. Geotechnical tests were performed to determine relative penetrability of the sediment at each site and suitability of sea floor sediments for radioactive waste disposal.
