MKG publishes reports from the LOT project in the Äspö hard rock laboratory

The Swedish NGO Office for Nuclear Waste Review, MKG, believes that it is important that the results from the LOT project in the Äspö hard rock laboratory are made widely available. Results from the LOT project could be in of interest at the copper corrosion workshop organised by the Swedish National Council on Nuclear Waste on November 16th 2009.

LOT is an acronym for "Long Term Test of Buffer Material" and the experiment involves tests of copper and clay in a repository environment. Among the reports below is a draft report from the A2 package (6 years) that was removed in January 2006. The report has been ready for some time, but the nuclear waste company has decided not to publish the results until the end of 2009.
