“…The bentonite will also shrink due to this drying process and its hydraulic and thermal properties will change. This effect has been identified in laboratory tests (Pintado et al, 2002) and at in situ tests corresponding for instance to FEBEX project (Gens et al, 2009), in Prototype Repository test (Chen et al, 2009) and in Canister Retrieval Test (Kristensson et al, 2015). After a few years and, although the canister is still hot, the dried bentonite starts to hydrate back due to the dominant water flow from the rock (rates depend on rock hydraulic conductivity).…”

“…This is an important issue and not all evidences show that the flow will be concentric and the deposition hole will be saturated in homogeneous way. Canister retrieval test (Kristensson et al, 2015) showed uniform saturation process due to artificial wetting but in Prototype repository (Olsson et al, 2013), the saturation process was not uniform, so in some cases, the saturation process could not be so uniform (Villar et al, 2007).…”
