Installation of steel liner in blind hole study
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:60393
Lining of horizontally bored, waste-emplacement holes has been studied for possible use in underground nuclear waste repositories. This study developed and evaluated a technically feasible concept for installing a steel liner in a 37-in.-diameter borehole up to 700 ft in length. This report reviews the history of jacking such lines in place, surveys existing equipment, reviews the cost estimate for this procedure, examines welding technology for the application, and concludes with a critical review of the construction risk. 9 figs., 1 tab.
