The petrology and diagenesis of Permo-Triassic rocks of the Sellafield area Cumbria

A study of the petrology and diagenesis of the Permo-Triassic rocks of the Sellafield area has been undertaken as part of the Core Characterisation Programme for UK NIREX Ltd. This paper summarizes observations of the petrology and diagenesis from boreholes 1/1A, 2, 3, 7A and 7B of the Brockram, St Bees Evaporites, St Bees Shale and St Bees Sandstone and proposes a series of Diagenetic Episodes (denoted DE1 to DE10) to describe paragenetic relationships inferred from these observations.
