Sorption of radionuclides on rocks is an important factor for safety assessments of geologic disposal of radioactive wastes. Batch sorption tests were conducted to investigate effects of concentrations of NaNO$$_{3}$$ and NaCl on sorption distribution coefficients(Kd) of selenium(Se) on a sandy mudstone under reducing environment of underground. The rock and groundwater used in the tests were sampled from depths of 129-156 m with special care minimizing contact with air. Se was spiked as HSe$$^{-}$$ or Se$$_{4}$$$$^{2-}$$ to the test solutions and kept as HSe$$^{-}$$ throughout the test periods by keeping reducing conditions (Eh, pH) of the solutions. Obtained Kd values were in a range of 0.015-0.037 m$$^{3}$$ kg$$^{-1}$$, which were as high as those for a typical sorbing element, Cs.
