Rundle, T A

Hydrofracturing tests are to be performed to obtain experimental data regarding the magnitudes and orientations of the principal stresses in candidate repository horizons within the reference repository location (RRL). The tests are to be conducted in boreholes RRL-6 and DC-4 located in the reference repository location on the Hanford Site. This series of tests is to be limited to the performance of a maximum of 16 tests in each borehole. Basalt flows to be tested in borehole RRL-6 include the Rocky Coulee, Cohassett, McCoy Canyon, and Umtanum. Testing in borehole DC-4 will be in the Rocky Coulee and Cohassett basalt flows.
