PROJECT REVIEW MEETING FOR " FLOW 0F GROUNDWATER AND TRANSPORT OF CONTAMINANTS THROUGH SATURATED FRACTURED GE0 LOGIC MEDIA FROM HIGH-LEVEL RADI0 ACTIVE WASTE," D1163, MARCH 13-14, 1986 A project review meeting was held by Dr. Donald L. Chery, Jr. (NRC RES Project Officer) with In-situ in Laramie Wyoming, March 13-14, 1986, for the subject contract. Representatives of In-situ participating in the meeting were S.C.
Way* (Project Manager), Tim Steele, Jim Kunkel, Robert Koening *, Amar Bumb*,
Jim Paschis, Dick Ewing, Tim Drever and Jane Reverand.
In-situ had prepared an extensive status report that had the following sections - Task Schedules, Negotiations (Access to Field Site), Base Line Data, Review of Movement of Contaminants in Fractured Porous Media, Tensor Porosity Development, List of References, and a Cost Control Graph.
Each of t,hese sections were discussed during the review.
Of the eight tasks in the contract, the first three had planned activity as of the meeting date and work on all three was progressing well. Work on the fourth task, Effective Porosity, was planned to begin in August 1986, but work had already been begun and the progress reported in the Tensor Porosity Development section of the status report.
Negotiations for access to the field test site have progressed well with contracts signed with all but two parties. No problems are expected with obtaining the approval of the remaining parties.

. A considerable amount of existing hydrologic, geologic, hydrogeologic and water quality data that characterize.the field test site (near Creston, Washington) have been located, collected and filed at In-situ's Laramie, Wyoming, office.
The test site has units of the Grande Ronde and Wanapum basalts et relatively shallow depths, which will make these investigations particularly relevant to the proposed repository sita at Hanford, Washington.
In the " Review of. Movement of Contaminants in Fractured Porosis Media section, In-Situ proposes to evaluate three (3) models. The proposed models are an analytical model developed by de Josselin de Jong, a single porosity (continum) model developed by Voss, and a discrete fracture model.
In-situ will begin the design of the field tests based on evaluating these models.
The first activity of Task 4 (Effective Porosity) is an investigation of the tensorial character of porosity. The status report presents a development of a tensor porosity that was discussed in In-situ's proposal and referenced there as an unpublished report by McKee. Results of evaluating a simplified system of two intersecting families of fractures with this model resulted in apparent porosities that varied from one system to another with fracture porosities held constant..
The project filing system has been divided into twelve subject or types of report categories. A set of technical references is beeing collected. All references are indexed on a computer index file and each can be retrieved in a variety of ways; i.e. author, title, subject, category, key words, date and source.
Over all, the project is progressing well and expenditures as of the end of February were within budget.
Summary discussions emphasized the importance of having carefully prepared experimental design and plans for scrutiny by the next Project Review Meeting.
The next Project Review meeting was tentatively set for mid June 1986.
