JA11 : Various Topics

SRA Key Topic	SRA Topic	SRA Topic priority
Technical feasibility and long-term performance of repository components (Topic 3 in the SRA)	Develop a common report on the lessons learned from in-situ experiments on the behaviour of bentonite. (Topic 3.2 in the SRA)	High/Medium

Explanation of the contents of the activity :

Useful input to the LUCOEX work.

The different experiments that have been undertaken on the behaviour of bentonite :

At Mt Terri, HE-C (on the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes developed in a clay host rock and a bentonite buffer), EZ-A (Testing of hydraulic stops in the host rock), ED-FE
At Aspö, LOT (on the changes induced on Bentonite by thermal effects), ABM (on the alternative materials to MX 80 bentonite), TBT (behaviour of a bentonite + sand EB), prototype repository
At Bure MAG (interaction between host rock and disposal materials)
At URL, TSX (drift seal experiment), shaft sealing
At Grimsel, EGTS
At MOL, Praclay
And no doubt others...
