Geomechanics Investigations in Support of the Large Block Test at Fran Ridge, Nye County, Nevada
Year: 1994
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project is investigating the Topopah Spring Tuff at Yucca Mountain, Nevada for its suitability as a host rock for the disposal of high level nuclear wastes. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is planning a large block test (LBT) to investigate coupled thermal-mechanical-hydrological and geochemical processes that may occur in the repository near-field environment.
