Description

The Callovo-Oxfordian argillite formation is under investigation as a potential host rock for a high-level radioactive waste repository at the Andra Underground Research Laboratory in Meuse/Haute-Marne (France). The Oxfordian limestone formation (160 m - 417 m) located above the Callovo-Oxfordian formation (417 m - 508 m) may be a potential medium for radionuclides migration. Diffusion is assumed to be the main transport mechanism governing radionuclide migration through argillite and the basis of Oxfordian limestone. The purpose of this study is to quantify their diffusive properties. (authors)
