This paper discusses the geomechanical investigations that comprise a significant portion of the site characterization program to be conducted at Yucca Mountain, the site of a proposed repository for nuclear waste. The investigations include large-scale experiments conducted in an exploratory shaft facility at the site. A program of prototype testing has been initiated to ensure the success of these expensive and complex experiments. The prototype testing program addresses three problems in rock mechanics.
