John, C. M.

This report documents the three dimensional, displacement discontinuity based computer code known as EXPAREA. The code is intended specifically to model test scale underground sites at which simulated or real radioactive waste is emplaced in salt. Documentation includes the necessary theory, details of implementation and the results of a number of test runs as well as user instructions, flowcharts and program listing.
