Abstract
Deep geological storage of high activity radioactivity waste is an option considered in many countries. In Belgium, France and Switzerland, clays and claystones are considered as possible geological barriers. In this context, the NAGRA agency of Switzerland is operating an Underground Research Laboratory (URL) of Mont Terri excavated in the Opalinus Claystone.
