Geohydrologic investigations of buried metamorphic rock and mudstone for the storage of radioactive waste
Description
From 1961 to 1972 a geohydrologic investigation of crystalline metamorphic rock and Triassic mudstone was carried on at the Savannah River Plant near Aiken, south Carolina, U.S.A., operated by the U. S. Department of Energy, for the purpose of evaluating the feasibility of storing radioactive waste in these host rocks. Although this investigation is no longer active, many of the concepts, testing methods, and results developed in this investigation are applicable to investigations currently being conducted at other locations fo geologic storage of radioactive waste
