Description

The Exploratory Shaft test program has been formulated for in situ characterization of basalt as part of the Basalt Waste Isolation Project. This paper identifies the tests currently anticipated as required to meet the needs of the repository license application. The first phase of the Exploratory Shaft Program is planned to provide access to the preferred candidate repository horizon for limited testing to support Repository Design. The second phase consists of underground construction and conduct of geologic, hydrologic, and geomechanics tests which can only be performed in the candidate repository horizon. 5 figs.; 1 table
