The paper presents utilisation of the acoustic borehole imaging method within the frame of structural geology research. Acoustic borehole imaging is a useful tool describing borehole walls. The method allows an identification of various inhomogenieties along the borehole including fractures. Despite the more or less subjective nature of interpretation of the acoustic borehole imaging similar to other geophysical method interpretations, is a careful comparison of the interpreted fractures and the fractures observed on a core allows us to orient both core and fractures. Furthermore it is possible to determine direction of present kinematic indicators on the oriented core (and fracture planes). Identified fault planes and kinematic indicators are valuable information for structural geology research, particularly for paleostress analysis. The procedure described here was applied in the PDV-1 borehole drilled in the immediate vicinity of the quarry near the Panské Dubenky village, Jihlava district, Czech Republic, Europe. The results are consistent with previous standard structural geology research conducted in the quarry.

An extensive set of porosity, e, effective diffusion coefficient, D e , and hydraulic conductivity, K, data were obtained from 45 granitic samples from the Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic. The measured dataset can be used to define parameter ranges for data to be used in safety assessment calculations for a deep (>400 m) radioactive waste repository, even though the samples originated from shallower depths (<108 m). The dataset can also be used for other purposes, such as evaluating the migration of contaminants in granitic rock (e.g. from shallow intermediate-level radioactive waste repositories and chemical waste repositories).Sample relaxation and ageing processes should be taken into account in research otherwise migration parameters might be overestimated in comparisons between lab results and those determined in situ.
