49A portant process that cannot be neglected in the assessment of a waste disposal scheme located in fractured porous rock. M e a s u r e m e n t o f w a t e r pressure and its effects 852067 Hydraulic and hydrogeological testing to determine the permeability of the pores or transmissivity of the fractures (In French) Manfredini, G Rev Fr Geotech N23, 1983, P31-42 The papers presented in session 3 may be broadly devided into 5 groups: (1) in situ determinations for characterizing a 'regional' permeability, (2) modern 'in borehole' testing techniques, (3) measurement of permeability at great depth, (4) theoretical and general analyses aiding in the correct interpretation of permeability tests and (5) case histories and special in situ tests. 39 refs.

The importance, in terms of safety and cost effectiveness, of practical experience in the sinking of freeze shafts as a reliable basis for further developments is demonstrated. 852070 Sinking the Voerde freeze shaft (In German and English) Hegemann, J Glackauf VII9, N20, 20 Oct 1983, P972-978 (german), P395-398 (english) Difficulties were encountered in the drilling, shot firing and supporting during the sinking of the Voerde shaft to a depth of 612m. Particular problems were caused by damage to the freezing pipes. Extensive measurements of the movement of frozen ground were carried out, during the sinking operation. 852071 Geologist and the storage of nuclear wastes (In French) Goguel, J Rev Fr Geotech N23, 1983, PlOI-104

Publ New York: AIME, 1983 Excavation of the Forest Glen Station and tunnels consisted of a twin-vault station; conventional drill and shoot tunnel; and a mixed faced tunnel; the main aspects being discussed. The use of dewatering, a boom type continuous miner and shotcrete in the mixed faced tunnel, along with hydraulic drills, bolts, and shotcrete proved to be effective methods. 852077 Exploratory shafts and underground test facility for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Frobenius, P; Chytrowski, B; Roberts, D; Wu, C L Proc 6th Rapid Excavation and Tmmeling Conference, Chicago, 12-16 June 1983 V1, P365-386.
