In situ tests and instrumentation in the WIPP facility

Creators

Description

The WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant) is a DOE R and D Facility for the purpose of developing the technology needed for the safe disposal of the United States defense related radioactive waste. The in situ test program is defined for the thermal-structural interactions, plugging and sealing, and waste package interactions in a salt environment. An integrated series of large-scale underground tests address the issues of both systems design and long term isolation performance of a repository
