Sasamoto, Hiroshi   

A project of coastal site characterization was performed with the project partners for 6 years from the fiscal year 2007 to 2012. This report summarized a frame-work for cooperation among the project partners and the summary of discussions through the project meetings. Additionally, the followings were also presented in this report considering the discussions in the project; examples of products obtained through development of investigation and evaluation techniques for coastal site characterization and the current status for integration of R&D products. A challenge performed through the project of coastal site characterization at Horonobe area could be a representative example for development of methodology to summarize the existing investigation and evaluation techniques, and to integrate the various products obtained in the coastal site investigations, from the view point of R&D for the management of high-level radioactive waste in Japan.
