Thermal properties of the Grouse Canyon Member of the Belted Range tuff and of Tunnel Bed 5, G-Tunnel, Nevada Test Site
Description
Thermal conductivity and thermal expansion data for tuffs of the devitrified welded Grouse Canyon Member and for the zeolitized nonwelded Tunnel Bed 5 are presented. Thermal properties have been found to be a function of mineralogy and saturation. Thermal conductivity results also are affected by matrix and fracture porosity, and thermal expansion behavior is a function of confining and fluid pressures. This work is being performed as part of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations Project. 17 refs., 9 figs., 5 tabs
