Pneumatic permeability measurements in a fractured, partially saturated environment
Conference

OSTI ID:139510
In the context of underground disposal of high-level radioactive wastes, the hydraulic conductivity of the host environment is an extremely important parameter. The research task of the authors addresses the technical design of instrumentation and the theoretical aspects of air flow through fractured, unsaturated rocks. Determinations of the pneumatic permeability are being conducted at different scales in selected boreholes located in unsaturated tuff at the Apache Leap Tuff site. 1 fig.
