794063 EXI~IENOE IN USE OF SUBSURFACE STORAGE Proc ist International Symposium on Storage in Excavated Rock Caverns (Rockstore 77), Stockholm, 5-8 Sept 1977, Vl, P143-206. Publ Oxf~l: Pergamon Press, 1978 Comprises Session 2 of the Symposium in which Ii papers plus discussion relate largely to case studies of specific uses for rock caverns and of special requirements such uses may have. Topics discussed include: storage of crude oil and fuel oils in Sweden, cold storage in Norway, hazardous waste storage in West Germany, requirements for the construction of military facilities in rock (Sweden), and projects in Norway for storing oil products or gas under high pressure or low temperature.

Publ Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1978 Reports an extensive survey which ranked formations by impermeability aud stability in excavation, for the potential storage of compressed air or water. The study is related to a need for auxiliary power plants to meet peak demands.

794060 PROBL~4S AND METHOD OF INVESTIGATION FOR LARGESCALE EXCAVATION IN ROCKS 0hya, S; Takeuchl, T Proc 1st International Symposimn on Storage in Excavated Rock Caverns (Rockstore 77), Stockholm, 5-8 sept 1977, VI, Plll-ll6. Publ Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1978 Presents an investigation programme in four linked stages: (1) site evaluation, (2) rock mass evaluation, (3) rock properties and stability of rock cavern, (4) field instrumentation and modification ar~lysis. The scheme is d/scussed in relation to large scale excavation in Japan, where there are problems of highly fractured and Jointed rocks, heavily weathered rocks, and a high level of seismic acitivity. 794061 SITING POTENTIAL FOR CCF~hlEsSED AIR AND UNDERGROUND PUMPED HYDRO ENERGY STORAGE FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES Walia, M; McCreath, D R Proc 1st International symposimn on Storage in Excavated Rock Caverns (Rockstore 77), Stockholm, 5-8 Sept 1977, V1, Pl17-123. Publ O~ord: Pergamon Press, 1978 Presents a broad geological categorisation of the continental United States which assesses suitable areas for the development of tunderground storage schemes. Factors considered include: depth of overburden, estimated costs of excavation, rock mass quality rating to indicate overall stability of suitable caverns, rock ~ s s permeability and existing groundwater regime, local and regional geologic structure. 794062 CAVERN STORAGE: A CLIENT'S VIEWPOINT Wills, L S; Rigden, W J Proc 1st International Symposium on Storage in Excavated Rock Caverns (Rockstore 77), Stockholm, 5-8 Sept 1977, V1, P125-130. Publ Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1978 Discusses problems associated with projects for the storage of petroleum and oil products in unlined hard rock caverns, particularly in the UK where suitable rock conditions exist only in isolated areas. A critical analysis is made of existing procedures for site investiga-

voe).

Discusses the methodology of preposterior analysis which can be used to assess the value of exploration, to define construction strategies and exploration reliabilities. A case study illustrates the use of the technique s with analysis of different cavern configurations and exploration options, leading to a decision whether to conduct the exploration, and if so, where.

GENERAL DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR UNDERGROUND OPENINGS IN NORWAY Selmer-Olsen, R; Broth, E Proc Ist International Symposium on Storage in Excavated Rock Caverns (Rockstcre 77 ), Stockholm, 5-8 Sept 1977, V2, P219-226. Publ Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1978 Defines four design stages: (1) location of site, (2) orientation of length axis, (3) shaping of the opening, (4) dimenslonirg of openlrg. These are discussed in detail, with emphasis on the importance of stage (1), and the influence of rock discontinuity and of the stress state.
