Abstract

A large scale tracer test has been performed as a part of the Site Characterization and Validation (SCV) Project in the Stripa experimental mine. Tracers were injected in a fracture zone intersecting a newly excavated drift and collected in plastic sheets and sump holes. The experiment gave information on the variability of flow and transport properties in a fracture zone.
