ABSTRACT
The purpose of utilizing computerized tomography was to evaluate the potential for change in saturation of Nevada Test Site (NTS) tuff during core recovery. This was addressed by characterizing the migration of fluids (primarily water) into and out of tuff specimens from NTS. Several drying tests and fluid intrusion tests were conducted at ambient conditions over a 24-48 hour period. Each test was monitored with the CT-scanner and density profiles created to show fluid movement.
