Présentation
Age 63, French nationality
Profession
Hydrogeologist and hydrogeochemist - Current position IRSN/PSE-ENV/SPDR/LETIS
Grade
Doctor from the University of Paris-Sud
Current function
Engineer - Researcher and Senior Expert in Transfer of Radionuclides in the Geosphere
Laboratory > IRSN/PRP-DGE/SRTG/LETIS
The scientific work of Jean-Michel Matray focuses on the transfer of solutes and natural analogues of radionuclides, in mainly deep continental hydrosystems. It validates and develops conceptual models of pollutant transfer in the host geological layers of future repositories and their relationship with the surrounding aquifers.

Themes explored / Research activities
A) Transfer of natural analogues and radionuclides in the continental environment:
- Transfers in aquitards (clay rocks COx, OPA, Toar…). Experimental approach and coupled modeling for validation of the performance calculations of a geological repository. Mobility modeling of natural tracers (Cl, Cs, Sr) analogues of radionuclides (RN);
- Participation in the ANR TAPPS project on transfers in the sedimentary pile located near the project for an industrial geological storage center (Cigeo) for high and medium level long-lived radioactive waste (HA-MAVL).
B) Studies and research on potential radioactive waste storage sites
- Preliminary geological reconnaissance of the Andra sites in Gard, Vienne and the East with the performance of numerous geochemical studies and summaries on the 3 sites;
- Scientific project management for the excavation of access shafts at Andra's Meuse/Haute-Marne Laboratory;
- Study of the geothermal potential at Cigeo;
C) Transfers in deep reservoirs and aquifers:
- Diagenesis of sedimentary basin reservoirs (Paris, Pannonian, North Sea, Gulf of Guinea);
- Validation of the flow model of the geothermal Dogger of the center of the Paris Basin (BP);
- Research on low enthalpy geothermal energy at BP with participation in two European research programs.
D) Studies in underground research laboratories in indurated clay rock
- Ttransfer properties of clayey rocks studied at Underground Reserach Laboratories (Tournemire and Mont Terri ) as analogues for assessing the Gigeo project of HL-ILLL disposal site in France.
-Impact of temperature on heat, fluid and solute transfers in clayrocks.
- Development of a software for the pre-processing and analysis of time series measured by sensors in the URLs.
Teaching / scientific animation
