Natural convection in tunnels at Yucca Mountain and impact on drift seepage

Natural convection in tunnels at Yucca Mountain and impact on drift seepage [electronic resource]

The decay heat from radioactive waste that is to be disposed in the once proposed geologic repository at Yucca Mountain (YM) will significantly influence the moisture conditions in the fractured rock near emplacement tunnels (drifts). Additionally, large-scale convective cells will form in the open-...
