| Activity: | Engineered barrier Emplacement Experiment in clayish formations - EB |
| Descripción: | The Barrier Emplacement (BE) project started in the year 2000 at the underground laboratory of Mont Terri (Switzerland). The objective of the project is to demonstrate a new concept in the field of engineered barriers for the underground storage of radioactive wastes using compactec bentonite blocks and a granular material made from bentonite pellets. |
| Activity: | Thermal Buffer Test - TBT |
| Descripción: | The experiment consists of the installation of two electric heaters in a single vertical shaft excavated in granite, and surrounded by a bentonite barrier, with the aim of checking the behaviour of that barrier at high temperatures. |
| Activity: | Heating test in clay formations - HE Experiment |
| Descripción: | To analyse the response of a clay-type rock formation from the thermo-hydro-mechanical point of view, with regard to the thermal impact of a radioactive waste storage. |
| Activity: | Experiment for underground heating in the Meuse/Haute Marne |
| Descripción: | Study for the experiment of heating in the ANDRA´s underground laboratory in Meuse/Haute Marne (France) |
| Activity: | Piezometers for measurement of pore pressure in clay |
| Descripción: | Testing and validation of piezometers installed in probes with little diameter for the measurement of pore pressures in clays. |
| Activity: | Georadar Technical Services |
| Descripción: | Technical assistance for detecting subsoil anomalies by means of the georadar geophysical method. |
