Repositories are designed on the basis of a multiple barrier system between the HLW and the biosphere. The Boom clay has been investigated for more than 20 years as the reference host rock. The most important decision was taken in 1980 to build an called high activity disposal experimental facility(HADES) in Boom clay formation at a depth of about 223 m at Mol site to investigate and demonstrate the feasibility of the disposal concepts and to provide reliable data on the performance of repository barriers(natural and engineering). Among numerous in-situ experiments carried out in HADES several tests were designed to study the thermo-hydro-mechanical(THM) behaviour of the host rock as well as the engineered barrier system(EBS) including sealing and backfilling feasibility such as CACTUS ATLAS BACCHUS and RESEAL etc.. Since 1995 the RD(research and design) program has been oriented towards
