Assessment of thermally induced water movement around a radioactive waste depository in hard rock

  • 1. UKAEA Research Group, Harwell. Atomic Energy Research Establishment

Description

An assessment is made of the relative importance of thermally induced and naturally occurring water movement in the vicinity of a hard rock depository. The rock is treated as a uniformly permeable medium. Both simple approximations and more comprehensive analysis of the fluid mechanics lead to the conclusion that thermal movement could be the more important for several millenia
