Reversible Experiments: Putting Geological Disposal to the Test. [PDF]
Conceiving of nuclear energy as a social experiment gives rise to the question of what to do when the experiment is no longer responsible or desirable. To be able to appropriately respond to such a situation, the nuclear energy technology in question should be reversible, i.e.

In a multi-barrier system of geological disposal for high-level radioactive waste (HLW), it is considered that the disposal container is the first layer of protective barrier to HLW. Low carbon steel is considered as the most promising candidate material

Influence of pore structure on grain bulk modulus of underground rock masses under hydro-mechanical conditions [PDF]
We present an evaluation of the grain bulk modulus of rocks through experimental and theoretical methods. Unjacketed tests were performed on three rock types—Berea sandstone, Idaho sandstone, and Hwangdeung granite—to measure grain-scale compressibility.

Parallel groundwater flow simulation method based on a discrete fracture network model
Objective Groundwater flow in fractured rocks has strong heterogeneity and anisotropy. The discrete fracture network (DFN) method has been internationally considered as one of the most reasonable and effective methods to describe the fracture water ...
