Abstract

Geologic features are described for the two sites involved: an initial site for Operation WINDSTORM (suspended), on Amchitka Island of the Aleutian Chain; and the final site for Operation JANGLE, in Yucca Valley near Las Vegas, Nevada. At least partly on geologic grounds, the initial site was found unsuitable.
