Program for the Stripa project phase 3, 1986-1991

In June 1985, the Joint Technical Committee agreed to proceed with the planning required for the initiation of a Phase 3. The following general objectives of a third phase were agreed upon: To integrate various site characterization techniques and methods of analysis for the prediction and validation of ground-water flow and nuclide transport in an unexplored volume of Stripa granite and to demonstrate and verify the use of different materials and techniques for sealing ground-water flow paths in the Stripa granite. A schedule for the solicitation review of proposals was established. The general areas of investigations were defined as: Site characterization and validation; improvement of site assessment methods and concepts; sealing of fractured rock. (orig./HP)
