Testing research on monitoring method of influence circle due to temperature variation in stratum

摘要

Nuclear waste disposal is a growing problem around the world with the rapid development of thennuclear industry. This paper puts forward a new monitoring method which is aimed at tracking thenradiation in sedimentary rocks by analysis of the relationship between temperature and rocknelectrical resistivity. The purpose of this paper is to validate the feasibility of the monitoringnmethod based on the indoor and outdoor testing. On the assumption that temperature is the primenfactor of electrical resistivity of the rock affected by nuclear disposal similar to the normal rocks,nthe temperature diffusion map of sedimentary rock under the heating source can be visualised bynelectrical resistivity variation at different points of the stratum. This monitoring method will help usnto evaluate nuclear waste affected areas.
