Quarterly brine migration data report, July-September 1985: Nuclear waste repository simulation experiments (brine migration), Asse Mine of the Federal Republic of Germany

The purpose of this report is to provide field test data for various analysts and to refine and support numerical models on brine migration, room closure, and other thermomechanical behaviors of salt subjected to heat and gamma radiation. The Asse Data Acquisition System is used to collect data on a 24-hour basis. The data are recorded on magnetic tapes, which are sent to ONWI. The data that are not recorded on magnetic tapes are collected manually on a daily or weekly basis. This includes the measurements for brine collection, room closure, and salt pressures from flat cells. The brine migration and geotechnical data collected from May 1983 through September 1985 are presented in this brine migration data report. The data are presented in two forms: tabular and graphic. The graphs include all the data, whereas the tables present only weekly or monthly readings to keep the list short. The majority of data are generated from the magnetic tapes. However, some data are generated from annual readings, and transcription errors may occur. All data are available through ONWI's Engineering Department on tape or on printed listings for those interested in performing in-depth analyses. 2 refs
