In order to study the changes that take place with time when groundwater comes in contact with heated rock, and to determine the ease with which potential radionuclide-bearing groundwater could be carried into the environment, the permeability and fluid chemistry of the Bullfrog Tuff from Yucca Mountain were studied under conditions simulating a nuclear waste repository environment.
