Abstract
H002 INTEGRATED GEOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A HARD ROCK SITE FOR NUCLEAR WASTE DISPOSAL ABSTRACT 1 Geological characterization aimed initially to select the site for final disposal from a series of candidate sites and later to support the positioning and design of the repository facilities. Airborne and ground level geophysical mapping and soundings geological mapping core logging detailed geophysical logging and surface and borehole reflection studies hydrological and hydrochemical investigations in 28 deep boreholes over 7 square kilometers were used to date for building a comprehensive hydrogeological model of the Olkiluoto site. Geophysical data has provided information on anomalous locations and
