Fig. 11From: Hydro-mechanical evolution of the EDZ as transport path for radionuclides and gas: insights from the Mont Terri rock laboratory (Switzerland)Simulation of radionuclide release in safety assessment (SA): abstraction of the radionuclide release paths from the site descriptive model (left) towards a simplified representation in a numerical transport code (right). The EDZ is implemented as a single shell model with effective properties in terms of cross-sectional area, porosity and hydraulic conductivity (modified after Poller et al. 2014)Back to article page
