The upward pressure against the base of an impervious dam, transmitted by water in the foundation from the water behind the dam, or pressure on the upper surface of any horizontal joint or crack in a dam. Such pressure tends to offset the weight of the dam and in some cases to overturn it; it reduces the dam’s stability or resistance to overturning.  2, record 2, English, - uplift

Carmichael(1978) introduced the concept of metamorphic bathozones and bathograds as a measure of the depth of regional post-metamorphic uplift and erosion. This concept is used... to complement the limited quantitative barometry currently existent... Where quantitative information about P-T [pressure-temperature] is presented herein, the equivalent bathozone is given in brackets for convenience; it should be recognized, however, that pressures derived from quantitative barometry and mineral assemblages are not directly equivalent.... Using five bathograds Carmichael(1978) defined six bathozones, numbered from 1 to 6 in order of increasing pressure...  2, record 3, English, - bathozone

There are two forms of injection into deep geologic formations that have been suggested or used for LLW disposal : hydrofracture and deep well injection. Both methods are primarily useful only for liquid or finely ground wastes. They both take precautions to prevent contaminating useful aquifers by carefully selecting the geologic formations into which the waste is injected. Hydrofracture disposal also uses a very insoluble waste form. Generally, hydrofracture involves injection of a mixture of waste and liquid grouting materials under high pressure into a deep layered rock formation such as shale. The injected material causes layers of rock to separate and the material forms flat "sheets" extending out from the injection well. The grout causes some surface uplift near the injection well.  1, record 8, English, - hydrofracture%20disposal

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Because of difficulty in transporting liquid wastes safely, the hydrofracture facility must be located near the source of the waste. A hydrofracture site requires large, generally impermeable (to nearby aquifers) layered formations that fracture horizontally. The surface area needed and visual impact of a hydrofracture facility are relatively small. Major barriers to nuclide release are the grout (waste form) and the geologic formation used. Perhaps the greatest problem with hydraulic injection is that there is little control of fracture propagation and it is not possible to define the final geometry of the grout/waste sheets from the surface.  2, record 8, English, - hydrofracture%20disposal

There are two forms of injection into deep geologic formations that have been suggested or used for LLW disposal : hydrofracture and deep well injection.... Generally, hydrofracture involves injection of a mixture of waste and liquid grouting materials under high pressure into a deep layered rock formation such as shale. The injected material causes layers of rock to separate and the material forms flat "sheets" extending out from the injection well. The grout causes some surface uplift near the injection well. Hydrofracture has been used at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory since the 1960's to dispose of intermediate level liquid radioactive wastes.
