This report summarizes the development of a through-the-earth electromagnetic communication system which was designed to demonstrate that a physical property could be measured deep in the earth and the data received at the surface by wireless telemetry. This system was configured to be placed in a borehole and sealed in place thus preventing the establishment of a pathway between a deep geologic nuclear waste repository and the biosphere. This report contains a detailed description of the downhole and wellhead telemetry electronics, the downhole sensor electronics, integrated system operation, test results, conclusions, and recommendations.
