(A) Location of the Nevada National Security Site, Aqueduct Mesa (red box) which houses U12p Tunnel (P-Tunnel). (B) Cross section of Aqueduct Mesa from X – X’ in (C). The layers correspond to the following lithologies: upper nonwelded to partially welded tuff (UNPWT), upper welded tuff (UWT), vitric nonwelded tuff (VNT), and upper zeolitic nonwelded tuff (UZNT). (C) Topographic contours of Aqueduct Mesa and P-Tunnel Complex. Yellow stars represent the locations of the Physical Experiment 1 (PE1) chemical explosion experiments (PE1-A, -B, and -DL). Figure modified from Myers et al. (2024).
