Abstract

For several years, tracer migration experiments at Nagra's Grimsel Test Site have been performed with an exceptionally high degree of precision. A summary of the main findings obtained by modelling these experiments is presented, addressing, in particular the influence of sorption. A consistent description of tracer behaviour is achieved, giving confidence when applying broadly similar methodologies and models in geosphere performance assessment.
