EPOS-NL (Covra)
The project involved the retrieval of Paleogene clay cores (including Boom Clay) as part of multipurpose research boring to 500m depth. The cores will be used to investigate the hydro-mechanical behaviour of such clays, in which radioactive waste disposal coudl take place (although not at this location). This will be the first time that Boom Clay has been retrieved at depths suitable for radioactive waste disposal in the Netherlands.
