Petrogenesis of Mafic to Felsic Plutonic Rock Associations: the Calc-alkaline Quérigut Complex, French Pyrenees
Journal of Petrology, 2000Co-Authors: Malcolm Roberts, Christian Pin, John D. Clemens, Jean-louis PaquetteAbstract:show that post-collisional wrenching in this part of the Variscides The Querigut mafic–felsic Rock association comprises two main was under way by 310 Ma. magma series. The first is felsic comprising a granodiorite–tonalite, a monzogranite and a biotite granite. The second is intermediate to ultramafic, forming small diorite and gabbro intrusions associated with hornblendites and olivine hornblendites. A U–Pb zircon age

An underground characterization program for a nuclear fuel waste disposal vault in Plutonic Rock
1993Co-Authors: P.m. Thompson, R.a. EverittAbstract:The Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program (CNFWMP) is developing a concept for disposing of nuclear fuel waste that involves placing and sealing it in a disposal vault excavated 500 to 1,000 m deep in the stable Plutonic Rock of the Canadian Shield. In this concept, engineered and natural barriers serve to isolate the waste from the biosphere. Since 1983, underground characterization and testing in support of the CNFWMP has been ongoing at the Underground Research Laboratory (URL) in southeastern Manitoba. This paper draws on experience gained at the URL to recommend an approach to underground characterization that would provide the necessary information to make design decisions for a disposal vault in Plutonic Rock.

Assessment of the long-term risk of a meteorite impact on a hypothetical Canadian nuclear fuel waste disposal vault deep in Plutonic Rock
1995Co-Authors: D.m. Wuschke, S.h. Whitaker, B.w. Goodwin, L.r. RasmussenAbstract:Canada has conducted an extensive research program on the safe disposal of nuclear fuel waste. The program has focused on disposal of used fuel in durable containers in an engineered facility or ``vault``, 500 to 1,000 m deep in Plutonic Rock of the Canadian Shield. This paper describes an assessment of the long-term radiological risk to a critical group, resulting from a meteorite impact on a hypothetical reference disposal vault. The authors assume the critical group is a small rural community which, sometime after the impact, moves to the area contaminated by nuclear fuel waste exposed by the impact. The estimated risk is compared to a risk criterion established by Canada`s nuclear regulatory agency.
