Opalinus Clay is chosen as host rock for the deep geological disposal of nuclear waste in Switzerland and also being considered Germany. The underlying Staffelegg Formation comprises potentially water-bearing layers. To investigate hydrogeological setting these two formations at Swiss Rock Laboratory Mont Terri bore holes have been drilled framework HS-Experiment (Hydrogeological Survey). 58 m long BHS-1 starts Lower Shaly facies Clay, crossects entire formation ends Triassic Klettgau...
The Alternative Buffer Material ABM5 experiment is an in situ medium-scale performed at Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory (HRL) conducted by SKB Sweden with the aim of analysing long-term stability bentonites used as engineering barrier for a high-level radioactive waste repository (HLWR). In this work, four different ring-shaped Ca- and Na-bentonite blocks, which were piled around carbon steel cylindrical heater, subjected to maximum temperature 250 °C hydrated saline Na-Ca-Cl groundwater (0.91...
