“…Over 900 data channels Mere installed to monitor the response of the rock to the heat and radiation produced by the fuel assemblies. A number of laboratory and field studies for site characterization and instrument calibration Mere carried out and reported (Carlson et al 1980;Heuze et al 1982;Patrick et al , 1982Patrick et al , 1983. Among these studies, IRAD GAGE vibrating-wire stressmeters Mere installed in the facility to measure the change in in-situ stress during the SFT-C.…”

IRAD GAGE vlbratlng-wlre stressmeters were Installed In the Spent Fuel Facility it the Nevada Test Site to measure the change In In-sltu stress during the Spent Fuel Test-Climax (SFT-C). This paper discusses the results of removing a cylindrical section of rock and gages as a unit through overcorlng, and the subsequent post-test calibrations of the stresstneters In the laboratory. The estimated in-situ stresses based on post test calibration data are quite consistent with those directly measured in nearby holes. The magnitude of stress change calculated from pre-test calibration data is generally much smaller than that estimated from post test calibration data.

“…A total of 1570 m of granite core was obtained from instrumentation and heater holes. In situ testing conducted before the main experiment (Heuze et al, 1982;Montan and Bradkin, 1984) included stress measurements (by overcoring), radon background measurements, geologic mapping, water collection from seeps, two types of seismic measurements (accelerometry during mining blasts and wideband seismic monitoring), and in situ heater tests for determination of rock-mass thermal properties.…”
