This document contains four technical presentations regarding the hydrotectonic environment at Yucca Mountain, Nevada and evidence for recurrent invasions by hydrothermal fluids. These papers by Dr. Gerald Frazier, Dr. Donald Livingston, and Dr. Malcolm Somerville present field evidence for polygenic metasomatic alterations of volcanic rocks at Yucca Mountain. This series of papers is used in conjunction with a set of comments to contradict conclusions in the NAS/NRC Report on Hydrotectonic Conditions at Yucca Mountain
