This report is one of a series documenting the results of the Swedish-American cooperative research program in which the cooperating scientists explore the geological, geophysical, hydrological, geochemical, and structural effects anticipated from the use of a large crystalline rock mass as a geologic repository for nuclear waste. This paper is broken down into the following 2 parts: (1) An appraisal of hard rock for potential underground repositories of radioactive waste; and (2) In situ heating experiments in hard rock--Their objectives and design
