Study of the influence of thermomechanical and hydraulic coupling on radionuclide migration through major fractures

  • 1. CEA Demt. Gif-Sur-Yvette, France

Description

In crystalline rock, the performance of nuclear waste repository is strongly dependent upon fractures. A major fracture will lead to a different behavior of rock mass under thermal loading and thus to different values of stress and displacement. Major fractures being preferential ways for ground water flow and thus radionuclide migration, the study of their hydraulic properties versus time with respect to thermal loading was the coupled process studied. The process is described
