Abstract

The GMT experiment (Figure 1) was initiated in the summer of 1997 under the auspices of RWMC (Radioactive Waste Management Center, Japan). It is part of the experiments conducted within Phase V (1997-2002) of Nagra's Underground Rock Laboratory at Grimsel, in the Swiss Alps [1]. The currents status and results from the site characterization activities and laboratory studies are presented. Future plans are also outlined.
