A continuation of the multi-disciplinary interactive and co-operative research effort in modelling Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical (T-H-M-C) processes in fractured rocks and buffer materials and the role in Performane Assessment (PA) for radioactive waste storage is performed under the DECOVALEX-THMC project (acronym for International co-operative project for the DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments in nuclear waste isolation). The project deals with several processes of importance for radionuclide release and transport. It also gives an opportunity of peer review to code developers. International co-operation will also provide exchanges of laboratory and field data for validation purposes, and prepare statements on coupled T-H-M-C issues for performance assessment. The project is initiated in January 2004 and will last for three years. Fourteen funding organisations from industry and regulatory authorities participate in the project.
