It is dispose radioactive waste in deep geologic important to note that all physical and chemical repositories. An excavation for a repository can processes involved in the radioactive waste cause mechanical damage that affects the fluid disposal are coupled and time dependent flow characteristics of the bedrock. The main processes. objective of the present study is to numerically Ontario Power Generation (OPG) [5] is investigate the extent of the excavation damage planning to develop a DGR in southern Ontario zone around an underground opening. The to host low-level and intermediate-level (LILW) COMSOL Multiphysics code is used to carry out nuclear waste. If approved, the proposed DGR is the analysis of a repository under consideration. to be constructed at a depth of about 683 m A relation between the changes in the within an argillaceous limestone.
