| Disclaimer about events near Yucca Mountain |
| Locations and magnitudes of seismic events within approximately 50 km of Yucca Mountain are preliminary information only. Please contact the Yucca Mountain Project Technical Library (http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/) to obtain quality-assured technical data relating to seismic activity or other natural phenomena near Yucca Mountain. |
| Note on erroneous locations |
| The Nevada Broadcast of Earthquakes may report earthquakes that
occur outside the monitoring network of the Nevada Seismological Lab.
In such cases, NBE tends to place events on the maps at erroneous
locations, outside of the edges of our monitoring network. Thus an
earthquake sequence actually occurring in southern California may
appear here near Death Valley. In particular, some of the strong aftershocks
of the Hector
Mine, California, earthquake appeared on these maps in southern
Nevada or Death Valley. Earthquakes
near San Francisco may appear here within the Sierra Nevada. Always check the analyst-reviewed locations on our Recent Earthquakes page. The NBE is a tool for rapid earthquake notification and response, and does not produce an accurate record of earthquake locations. |
