Description
The emplacement tunnels are constructed in the centre plane of the Opalinus Clay, providing a layer of about 50 m of Opalinus Clay above and below the tunnels. SF and HLW tunnels are 40 m apart. The emplacement tunnels for ILW are located far from the SF/HLW tunnels, to ensure minimal interaction between the two sections of the repository.
