Abstract
ABSTRACTA joint US/FRG nuclear waste repository simulation experiment was performed at the Asse Salt Mine in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The High Level Waste (HLW) disposal in boreholes was simulated by the simultaneous emplacement of electrical heaters and cobalt-60 sources at four individual test sites located in a special underground test room at the 800 m-level.In order to resolve the issues of rock mass/waste package interaction the temperature field, brine migration into the heater boreholes, borehole gas pressure and composition, and rock mass stresses and displacements were monitored during the test. In order to validate computer code predictions the acquired data were compared to calculational results. Corrosion specimens remained in the heater boreholes during the course of the experiment and were afterwards examined.
