Scientific Illustrations - Images created for the Colloid Formation and Migration (CFM) Experiment (Grimsel)

The Coloid Formation and Migration experiment is being carried out at the Grimsel Test Site (GTS), situated deep under the Alps in Switzerland - full details can be found on the dedicated GTS website : http://www.grimsel.com

For the in-situ CFM experiment, a potential source of radionuclides and colloides (with radionuclides pre-spiked bentonite rings) will be emplaced in an advective flow system in the host rock.

The formation and transport of colloids and colloid-associated radionuclides is monitored under repository relevant flow conditions and over relevant distances.

This detailed cross-section of the experiment was created to illustrate the concept layout.
