A revised estimate of the recoverable thermal energy in the Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA) was made using the strong correlation between the temperature distribution and the magnetic anomaly. Estimates of the power-generating potential range from 1300 MW-20 years (for indicated resources) to 8700 MW-20 years (for hypothetical resources). These figures are compatible with previously published estimates. Comparison of various estimation procedures reveals major differences in techniques used to assess reservoir volume. However, there is general agreement on parameters used to convert reservoir volume to recoverable energy. Conservative estimates justify continued research and development to solve the technical problems that stand in the way of commercialization of the Salton Sea resource.

Since high concentrations of radionuclides and high temperatures are not normally encountered in salt domes or beds, finding an exact geologic analog of expected near-field conditions in a mined nuclear waste repository in salt will be difficult. The Salton Sea Geothermal Field, however, provides an opportunity to investigate the migration and retardation of naturally occurring U, Th, Ra, Cs, Sr and other elements in hot brines which have been moving through clay-rich sedimentary rocks for up to 100,000 years. The more than thirty deep wells drilled in this field to produce steam for electrical generation penetrate sedimentary rocks containing concentrated brines where temperatures reach 365/sup 0/C at only 2 km depth. The brines are primarily Na, K, Ca chlorides with up to 25% of total dissolved solids; they also contain high concentrations of metals such as Fe, Mn, Li, Zn, and Pb. This report describes the geology, geophysics and geochemistry of this system as a prelude to a study of the mobility of naturally occurring radionuclides and radionuclide analogs within it. The aim of this study is to provide data to assist in validating quantitative models of repository behavior and to use in designing and evaluating waste packages and engineered barriers. 128 references, 33 figures, 13 tables.
