Geological heterogeneity: Goal-oriented simplification of structure and characterization needs

Journal Article Savoy, Heather ; Kalbacher, Thomas ; Dietrich, Peter ; ... - Advances in Water Resources

Geological heterogeneity, i.e. the spatial variability of discrete hydrogeological units, is investigated in an aquifer analog of glacio-fluvial sediments to determine how such a geological structure can be simpli-fied for characterization needs. The aquifer analog consists of ten hydrofacies whereas the scarcity of measurements in typical field studies precludes such detailed spatial models of hydraulic properties. Of particular interest is the role of connectivity of the hydrofacies structure, along with its effect on the con- nectivity of mass transport, in site characterization for predicting early arrival times. Transport through three realizations of the aquifer analog is modeled with numerical particlemore »« less

An assessment of geologic data needs requiring borehole drilling and testing to support site characterization activities for a nuclear waste repository in basalt

Technical Report

This document provides a systematic assessment of the data needed from boreholes for geologic characterization of the site, the reference repository location, the Cold Creek syncline, and the Pasco Basin region as they pertain to characterizing a repository site in Columbia River basalt. This document supports the Test Plan for Obtaining Geotechnical Data requiring Usage of Boreholes to Support Site Characterization for a Nuclear Waste Repository in Basalt.'' 16 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
Information needs for characterization of high-level waste repository sites in six geologic media. Volume 1. Main report

Technical Report

Evaluation of the geologic isolation of radioactive materials from the biosphere requires an intimate knowledge of site geologic conditions, which is gained through precharacterization and site characterization studies. This report presents the results of an intensive literature review, analysis and compilation to delineate the information needs, applicable techniques and evaluation criteria for programs to adequately characterize a site in six geologic media. These media, in order of presentation, are: granite, shale, basalt, tuff, bedded salt and dome salt. Guidelines are presented to assess the efficacy (application, effectiveness, and resolution) of currently used exploratory and testing techniques for precharacterization or characterizationmore »« less
