Open AccessLong-term sinking of nuclear waste canisters in salt formations by low-stress creep at high temperature
Rock salt has a self-sealing capacity, low permeability, and high thermal conductivity, making it a potential host for heat-generating nuclear waste. The feasibility of nuclear waste disposal within salt forma...

Damage and Healing Properties of Rock Salt: Long-Term Cyclic Loading Tests and Numerical Back Analysis
The Chair for waste disposal technologies and geomechanics has analysed the effects of mechanical cyclic loading of rock salt by laboratory testing. The tests were characterized by cyclic loading at stress con...
