In Situ Investigation of the Long Term Sealing System as a Component of a Dam Construction

Ziel

Dam constructions represent an essential component of the multi-barrier safety concept for a repository for radioactive waste in salt formations. Within the scope of the dam project the long-term seal, which is responsible for the long-term safety of a dam construction is subjected to an in situ test. Main objectives of the scientific investigation programme are:

- to provide proof of the tightness of the long-term seal as a dam construction component by means of experimental investigations to obtain essential data concerning the effectiveness and
- to prognosticate its functioning (tightness) over long time periods (up to approximately 500 years) via model calculations.
The long-term evolution of permeability and porosity will be considered, investigating the chemical stability and the petrophysical behaviour.
The state of the art on calculations and codes for multiple-phase flow will be analyzed, adequate mathematical models and computer codes developed and verified. [N.B. In December 1992 the BMFT (D) decided to have the project reviewed; in-situ experiments were suspended].
Dam constructions represent an essential component of the multibarrier safety concept for a respository for radioactive waste in salt formations. Within the scope of the dam project, the long term seal, which is responsible for the long term safety of a dam construction, is subjected to an in situ test. Main objectives of the scientific investigation programme are to provide proof of the tightness of the long term seal as a dam construction component by means of experimental investigations to obtain essential data concerning the effectiveness, and to prognosticate its functioning (tightness) over long time periods (up to approximately 500 years) via model calculations.

In order to collect geochemical data, the physicochemical and petrophysical characteristics of the component of the long term seal were investigated. The solubility of materials in fresh water and brine have been measured and laboratory dynamic experiments with laboratory percolation test through different assemblages of briquettes have been performed. The design of the pilot test has been finished and the preparation of the testfield is going on. In the field of geochemical and petrophysical modelling, an overview of the development of recent geochemical model on application on thermodynamic codes are performed. Considering modelling of petrophysical characteristics of briquettes assemblages, a review on dissolution of solid and porous materials by fluids was achieved. A literature study for analyzing state of the art calculations and codes for multiple phase flow has been done. It has been proven that a large number of codes deal with topics strongly related to the hydromechanical behaviour of salts.
