The Grimsel test site—Part of the disposal project for radioactive waste in Switzerland
Abstract For identification of future research work, an extremely valuable procedure is to undertake a quantitative analysis of an entire repository system. In Switzerland, legal requirements for the preparation and formal submission of such a synthesis task have led to intensive efforts being invested in field, laboratory and desk studies and have produced specific input for planning of future research work. Although advances are mostly required in predicting repository performance, the host rock of a repository in geological formations and its surrounding environment are important parts of the multi-barrier safety system proposed for radioactive waste disposal. It is important to adequately characterise the site to quantify as far as possible its expected future evolution. This leads to development requirements in test methodology and geologic interpretation. The Grimsel Test Site offers an interesting opportunity for testing and development of measuring techniques, validation of models etc in carrying out in-situ tests on a large scale.
