Euroclay 2015 - the quadrennial meeting of the European Clay Groups Association (ECGA) jointly with the annual meeting of The Clay Minerals Society (CMS) did receive information about DOPAS Experiment EPSP in July 2015
Lucoex conference and workshop was organised in beginning of June in Oskarsham, Sweden. DOPAS project were well represented there with three oral presentation related to the Requirements-based Design in Support of Full-scale Tests of Plugs and Seals by Matt White, GSL and Full-scale test of a Dome plug tunnel seal at Äspö HRL - Design, installation and results by Pär Grahm, SKB and Technical feasibility of the Cigéo Project seals by Régis Foin, Andra. Two separate posterspresented DOPAS as well, one with general information about DOPAS by Johanna Hansen, Posiva and one with Sealing of a former salt mine – investigating viscous behavior of salt concrete in the context of the DOPAS project by Thorsten Hörbrand, GRS. In addition DOPAS coordinator Johanna Hansen was a member in panel discussion among lucoex expert group members.
