Basalt fiber or fibre is a material made from extremely fine fiber s of basalt , which is composed of the mineral s plagioclase , pyroxene , and olivine . It is similar to Carbon fiber carbon fiber and Glass fiber fiberglass , having better physicomechanical properties than fiberglass, but being significantly cheaper than carbon fiber. It is used as a Fireproofing fireproof textile in the aerospace and automotive industries and can also be used as a Composite material composite to produce products such as Tripod photography camera tripods .

For similar SiO sub 2 sub concentrations, alkali basalts have a higher content of the alkali s, Na sub 2 sub O and K sub 2 sub O, than other basalt types such as tholeiite s. They are also characterized by the development of modal nepheline in their groundmass visible at highest magnification on a petrographic microscope and normative nepheline in their Normative mineralogy CIPW norm s.

The BWIP Site Characterization Report was published in November 1982, explaining the details and status of the project. When the United States Department of Energy Department of Energy DOE published an Environmental Assessment in May 1986, it recommended BWIP to the Ronald Reagan President as a candidate site. The main concern in the post 1982 phase of the project had been the suitability of the project s quality assurance procedures during the early phases of BWIP. President Reagan approved BWIP as a candidate site in May 1986, and DOE stopped most of the site characterization activities at the BWIP until quality assurance procedures could be adopted that would satisfy Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC requirements. BWIP s status as a candidate site was short lived. Only 19 months after the President approved the BWIP as a candidate site for the repository, Congress amended the NWPA in Title V of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 . This narrowed the search for a repository site by designating Yucca Mountain as the sole candidate.
