AbstractAbstract
[en] As part of the program for the final disposal of the nuclear fuel waste, Posiva Oy investigates the hydrological conditions at the Olkiluoto island. The hydraulic conductivity in the shallow holes OL-PP5, OL-PP9, OL-PP39, OL-PVP4A, OLPVP4B, OL-PVP13, OL-PVP14, OL-PVP17, OL-PVP18A, OL-PVP18B, OL-PVP19 and OL-PVP20 was measured in summer 2005. The length of PP-holes varies between 12 and 15 m, and the test sections (1 m) are located in the bedrock. PVP-tubes have a length up to 17 m, and the test sections (1 - 4 m) are located in the overburden. The measurements were done using the slug-test technique. In the slug-test, the hydraulic head in the borehole is abruptly changed either by pouring water into the borehole or by lowering the pressure sensor. The conductivity is interpreted based on the recovery of the water level. This report presents the field measurements and their interpretation. The interpretation has been done using the Hvorslev's method, and for reference conductivity has also been calculated according to Thiem's equation. According to the results, hydraulic conductivity in PP-holes ranges from 10-9 m/s to 10-5 m/s and in PVP-tubes from 10-7 m/s to 10-4 m/s. The range is similar as observed in measurements of years 2002 and 2004. Expect few test sections, the results from 2005 are close to ones measured in the same sections in 2002 and 2004. The results agree also with hydraulic conductivity interpreted from the pre-pumping done in connection with the groundwater sampling. (orig.)
