Abstract
It has been established that the stress state of rock salt influences the s alt washout rate in geotechnological processes. It is determined by a reduc tion of the dissociation energy and an increase of the mass transfer surfac e due to dilatancy decompaction of the salt massif; as a result, the proces s is accelerated 6-8 times.
