Anisotropic Case

Safety assessment of nuclear waste disposal in a deep geological repository requires understanding and quantifying radionuclide transport through the hosting geological formation. Determining diffusion parameters under real conditions is necessary for the performance assessment of a deep geological repository where high level wastes are placed for safety disposal. The in situ diffusion and retention (DR) experiments are designed to study the transport and retention properties of the Opalinus clay formation. In this paper, a scoping numerical simulation is performed in Opalinus Clay, The simulated results for all the traces illustrate that the maximum transport distance perpendicular to the bedding is larger in the isotropic case and those along the bedding is larger in the anisotropic case. Tracer depletion in the isotropic case is a little larger than in the anisotropic case. Deuterium and iodide can be detected in the other interval but strontium can’t. Since the length of injection interval is shorter than the transport distance, the anisotropy effect is clearly measurable. This numerical simulation of diffusion experiment aims at contributing to the optimum design of the experiment. The results of this experiment will provide additional insight into the role of diffusion anisotropy and sorption parameters for radionuclides in clays.

A set of associated vertebrae and teeth of a fossil shark was collected from the lower Lutetian (Middle Eocene) part of the Lillebælt Clay Formation in Denmark. Its vertebral morphology indicates that the individual belongs to an odontaspidid lamniform shark. Although it is here identified as Odontaspididae indet., its tooth morphology suggests that the fossil shark possibly belongs to an undescribed taxon closely allied to Odontaspis or Palaeohypotodus. Based on comparisons with extant Odontaspis, the fossil individual possibly measured about 333 cm in total length. The disarticulated nature of the specimen in a low-energy deposit indicates that the shark carcass must have been lying on the sea floor for some time before its burial. The fossil individual was found along with a possible shed tooth of another indeterminate odontaspidid taxon.
