Grimsel Test Site (Switzerland)

Welcome to the Grimsel Test Site (GTS) Website

Grimsel's Role in International Underground Research & Development

The Grimsel Test Site is a research facility and not a potential repository site; although investigations may utilise a wide range of radioactive tracers, no radioactive waste will be disposed of at the GTS.
