Grimsel 2000 – Status of International Projects at the Grimsel Test Site (GTS)

Abstract: During 17 years of cooperation, the Grimsel underground test site in the Swiss Alps has become established as a major center for study of the deep geological environment. The present Phase V of operation involves collaboration of 15 organizations from 9 countries.The 7 major projects currently running can be divided into 3 areas:- Confirmation of fundamental understanding and testing of models of processes identified to be significant in integrated performance assessment- Demonstration and optimization of site… Show more

“…Shear zones with gouge materials are typically located at the interface between mylonite and rock unaffected by ductile deformation. These shear zones have been used for a large number of in situ tests targeted at flow and transport in fractured media (e.g., [10][11][12]). Figure 1 shows a dark mylonitic shear zone bordered by bright granodioritic matrix rock.…”

“…In particular, methods characterising in situ porosity, i.e., the pore space in the undamaged and saturated rock matrix under natural stress, were compared to laboratory determinations of samples that may have been affected to some degree by artefacts of sampling, desaturation and stress release. On-site work was performed at the Grimsel Test Site (GTS), the underground rock laboratory of Nagra (National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste, Switzerland) in the Swiss Alps, where various experiments aiming at the characterisation of crystalline rock are carried out (e.g., [11,12]).…”

“…Their objective is to study the behaviour of the disposal General Properties system as a whole, to optimise the various technical procedures involved and to document their safety. (Kickmaier, 2005;Vomvoris, 2004) On the other hand,, the experiments at the Mont-Terri laboratory are under progress. This laboratory became operative in 1996.…”
