Description

A research programme has been in progess for six years at the Centre d'Etude de l'Energie Nucleaire de Mol on radioactive waste burial in an oligocen argillaceous formation situated in its own area at medium depth. After laboratory tests and work in the field for formation characterization a preconceptual design study for a complete burial facility has been initiated on an industrial scale. A borehole and an experimental shaft with be built in this formation. This underground laboratory will lead to a large test programme on 'in situ' clay characterization and on linings. Different sealing materials and techniques will be tested
