This report contains the results of a review and compilation of published and unpublished information that could be used to determine the potential for a useful geothermal resource within the Yucca Mountain controlled area. The study addresses the requirements described under the Site Characterization Plan Activity 8.3.1.9.2.1.3 - Assessment of the potential for geothermal energy at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The bibliography cites more than 500 books, journals, maps, technical reports, and other pertinent information in two subject areas: regional data from throughout the Great Basin Physiographic Province; and data in the vicinity of the Yucca Mountain area, including the Amargosa Valley, the Nevada Test Site, the Southwest Nevada Volcanic Center, and Death Valley. The regional data assessment was compiled to establish a series of geothermal templates against which data collected in the Yucca Mountain Study Area could be compared. The Yucca Mountain data compilation focused on existing data in the following categories: geologic, hydrologic, geophysical, geochemical, and drilling surveys.
