Description/Abstract This report is the third quarterly report on the brine migration tests that are in progress at the Asse Mine in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG).^These experiments are designed to (1) simulate a nuclear waste repository; (2) determine the effect of gamma radiation on brine migration; and (3) monitor salt decrepitation and disassociation of brine, the thermomechanical behavior of salt, salt creep and room closure, the thermal gradient at the test site, and the associated stress in the salt.^The data obtained will be used to validate numerical predictive models, to evaluate candidate waste package material, and to evaluate test equipment and procedures under repository conditions with a view toward future at-depth testing of potential repository sites.^This report describes the test equipment, the Asse Salt Mine, the pretest properties of the salt in the test gallery, and the mine proper.^Also included are test data for the first 9 months of operations on brine migration rates, room closure rates, extensometer readings, stress measurements, and thermal mechanical behavior of the salt.^2 refs., 34 figs., 17 tabs.
