Ydinporaus is a Finnish term used to describe borehole drilling conducted to obtain core samples from sub-surface rocks. The word combines ydin (nuclear or core) and poraus (drilling), and it is commonly used in Finnish geology, mining, and nuclear energy discussions. In practice, ydinporaus refers to core drilling projects aimed at studying lithology, rock structure, hydrogeology, and other properties of the host rock.
Techniques and equipment commonly involved include diamond core drilling, which uses a hollow bit to cut a
Applications of ydinporaus span mineral exploration, where it helps identify ore bodies and grade, to geological
Safety and regulation: Drilling programs require environmental permits and adherence to occupational safety standards. Nuclear-related drilling
