Scientific Illustrations - Images created for the Colloid Formation and Migration (CFM) Experiment (Grimsel)
Installed Packer Sytem : CFM at Grimsel

The Coloid Formation and Migration experiment is being carried out at the Grimsel Test Site (GTS), situated deep under the Alps in Switzerland - full details can be found on the dedicated GTS website : http://www.grimsel.com

For the in-situ CFM experiment, a potential source of radionuclides and colloides (with radionuclides pre-spiked bentonite rings) will be emplaced in an advective flow system in the host rock.

The formation and transport of colloids and colloid-associated radionuclides is monitored under repository relevant flow conditions and over relevant distances.

This detailed cross-section of the experiment was created to illustrate the concept layout.
