The French Institute for Protection and Nuclear Safety(IPSN) is investigating the argillaceous formation of Tournemire(France) as a methodological underground laboratory for conducting research on the feasibility of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste in argillites. Because of the very low water content and hydraulic conductivity of the argillites, the migration through this media should be very low. The fluid flow regime and transport have been studied using natural tracers from the interstitial water. 1, record 2, English, - methodological%20underground%20laboratory

Factors that affect the ageing of building materials are UV light, temperature, and moisture from RH, precipitation and driving rain. UV radiation probably contributed most to the degradation of the coating and the substrate. Much research is done on the performance of materials due to ageing both by artificial ageing(accelerated) and natural weathering condition(field exposure) of the material. Ahola(1993) studied the effect of ageing on the water vapour permeability and found that the water vapour permeability decreased when exposed to the natural climate for one year. This was interpreted as due to loss of residual solvent, leaching out of low-molecular-mass components, viscous flow of a binder and migration of emulsifiers to the surface. 2, record 6, English, - degradation%20device

L'étape essentielle dans l'étude de la prévision de la durabilité est de créer un vieillissement artificiel dont les paramètres sont choisis de manière à accélérer l'évolution du polycarbonate en s'efforçant de ne pas faire apparaître de nouveaux processus n'existant pas en vieillissement naturel. Le vieillissement artificiel est un dégradeur UV avec cycle d'arrosage (weatheromètre humide) permet d'accélérer la dégradation photochimique combinée à l'action de l'humidité.
