Abstract
Two experimental insulation covers made of inert waste rocks and were of 2 and 4 m-thick respectively were tested at the Meadowbank Mine site to assess the performance of insulation covers tailings storage facility. On each experimental cell, volumetric water content, matric suction and temperature sensors were installed at three stations and at various depths. Oxygen consumption tests were also performed below the cover and in the tailing pond to estimate the reactivity of the covered and uncovered Meadowbank tailings. This paper focuses on the design, the construction and the instrumentation of the tested insulation covers. Preliminary results of the monitored temperatures at the central station and of the OC tests are presented for each cell. For both tested covers, results indicate good thermal insulation performances since the covered mine tailings remain below the freezing point during the warmest period of the year. The reactivity of the tailings under the two tested covers is below the detection limit (10 moles of O2/m2/year) of the OC method while the reactivity of uncovered tailings during summer is between 20-85 moles of O2/m2/year.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
