Nagra and JAEA worked together for nearly a decade on a Radionuclide Retardation Project (RRP) at Nagra's Grimsel Test Site in Switzerland with the main aim of enhancing the understanding of radionuclide transport/retardation in fractured rock. This report summarises the results of the final phase (1996-1998) of excavation project that is an integral part of RRP. It focuses on in situ characterisation of the shear zone structure and the behaviour of radionuclides that are relevant to repository post-closure safety, but are so strongly retarded by interaction with the shear zone rock that they are not expected to migrate through the dipole flow-field in experimentally reasonable time scales. The subsequent excavation of the experimental shear zone is detailed and the results of the laboratory analysis of the three-dimensional geological structure and of the distribution of injected radionuclides within the flow-field are presented.

With increasing experience in the implementation of in-situ experiments, improved process understanding and more mature repository concepts, the experimental programmes at the Grimsel Test Site in Switzerland have gradually become more complex and more directly related to open questions defined by repository implementation organisations and regulatory bodies. To date, in situ radionuclide transport/retardation in fractured crystalline rocks have been studied, increasing in complexity from simple, non-sorbing to more chemically complex, strongly sorbing radionuclides. Currently, two ongoing in situ experiments at the GTS are investigating the in situ behaviour of radionuclides in the presence of clay colloids and the retardation of radionuclides under hyperalkaline conditions.

Hydraulic packer test (HT) has been carried out in the deep borehole investigations in the URL programs. Obtained results (transmissivity and flow model etc.) are used for the groundwater modeling/simulations etc. Therefore, quality of HT data and their analysis are crucial for ensuring reliability of the modeling/simulation results. Thus quality management system for the HT from data acquisition to data analysis has been established. The established system has been applied to the borehole investigations in the URL program and confirmed the appropriateness.
