The Nevada, United States, and international case studies series (1970-2010) contains subject files for Clark County and Nye County, Nevada, as well as reports and files for the states of California, New Mexico, and Southern Nevada. The materials consist of subject files and reports concerning the potential socioeconomic, environmental, and health and safety impacts from the site itself to these counties, states, and nations. The Nye County materials contain research interests on radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel from the Nevada Test Site and other military installations in Nevada. Internationally, the series contains research interests on tribal nations within the U.S., such as the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians, the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians, and contentions from the Timbisha Shoshone toward the Yucca Mountain repository.
