  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Forty-eight core samples of ash-flow tuffs from Yucca Mountain, NV, were selected for comparative analysis by uranium-based methods to estimate past interaction with oxidizing water. Results aid in the selection of hydrologically isolated host rocks for radioactive waste disposal. U abundances were consistently more variable than thorium in whole rocks, suggesting some selective redistribution of U. Dissolved U correlates most strongly with dissolved manganese, indicating a predominant association of U with manganese oxides.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
