Progress in FSS, Saint Dizier, France

Experiment 1. FSS full scale demonstration of Cigeo sealing structure has progressed.

The final phase on major emplacement activities has been finished when low pH shotcrete containment plug was installed in September 2014. Andra is now working on the assessment of the work (coring, gamma-gamma logging, TDR data) and activities which are informing about the fulfillment of requirements set for the plug.


In addition the REM experiment (metric saturation test of FSS bentonite) has been initiated with similar materials and specifications used for FSS demonstration.
