For the geological disposal of high level radioactive wastes, after placement of the wastes, it is necessary to close off (to be called "sealing" hereafter) the underground potential passages (disposal pits, disposal tunnels, main and connecting tunnels and access tunnels) with an effective combination of engineered barriers such as buffers, backfilling materials, plugs and grout. It is necessary to ensure the long-term durability to isolate disposed wastes in the system. The results of the research works this year are as follows ; (1) Basic data could be measured in the tunnel sealing experiments at URL site for sealing performance as the result of seepage, swelling pressure, evaporation rate and tracer concentration in and around the plug with increase of chamber pressure. (2) The transport properties around the plug could be evaluated based on a comparison between the results of tracer test and numerical analysis. (3) The sealing concept of foreign countries could be reviewed to establish the Japanese sealing concept and to clarify the requirement for sealing technique. This work was performed by KAJIMA Corporation under contract with Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Agency.
