Borehole Plugging Program (Waste Disposal). Report 1. Initial Investigations and Preliminary Data

Abstract

This report covers efforts during the first year of the program. A study was initiated to find competent grouts to be used in stemming boreholes associated with radioactive waste disposal. The grouts must be durable for several thousand years and be essentially impermeable. In addition, the grouts should be pumpable to depths of several thousand feet into environments of high temperature. Grouts for use in both salt and nonsalt formations are to be studied. This program is still underway.
