Abstract
Properties of fractured crystalline rock, especially hydraulic permeability and porosity, can be highly variable spatially. Since it is not possible to completely characterize the subsurface rock properties in every detail, it is customary in performance assessment or safety assessment of geological disposal of used nuclear fuel wastes to resort to stochastic methods to simulate the spatial variability.
