Project : Pelletized Clay Mixtures with Enhanced Thermal Conductivity for Engineered Barriers in a Geologic Repository for High-Level Nuclear Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel.

One stainless steel constant volume micro cell with 7mm inner diameter and 30mm in height (for WP4 machine), and one big cell with 21mm inner diameter and 90mm in height were manufactured to measure water retention curves for pelletized clay samples.
