Abstract

At present, in the context of the safe final disposal of radioactive waste, scientific opinion favours deep disposal in stable geological formations. Studies on the suitability of specific geological bodies for such a repository requires the investigation of a wide range of problems. This paper deals with an approach to three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and mapping of a rock mass identified as a potential repository host rock. In our opinion, the first and most important objective in such a process, should be to answer the following questions:

  • What is the internal structure of the rock mass?

  • Is the rock mass intact and stable?

  • Does this rock mass possess tectonic zones (e.g. faults and fractures) and if so, what are their orientations and dimensions?

  • What are the seismo-acoustic characteristics of the host rock and overlying formations?
