Abstract
Key findings highlight the extremely low permeability and self-sealing behavior of Opalinus Clay, the dominance of diffusion over advection, the response to gas and thermal stress, and the reliability of engineered barrier systems. Demonstration experiments confirmed the feasibility of repository concepts. The project has significantly advanced scientific understanding of argillaceous host rocks and established Mont Terri as a benchmark site for deep geological research and repository development.
