In-site test of a bentonite pellet backfilling method for prefabricated engineered barrier system module

Mori, Takuo*; Niunoya, Sumio*; Kobayashi, Masato*; Nishimura, Masanobu*; Nakayama, Masashi 

Prefabricated Engineered barrier system Module (PEM) is one of option for Radioactive waste emplacement. Narrow gap between Tunnel and PEM must be backfilled with Bentonite, to prevent water permeability. Authors developed Bentonite Pellet Backfilling Method for the narrow gap. In-site test was executed at Horonobe URL -350m. Bentonite Pellet was backfilled two gaps (Minimum width: 110 mm) between an actual size PEM and the Tunnel. A 1.37 Mg/m$$^3$$ backfill dry density is achieved. It was proofed that the Bentonite Pellet Backfilling Method is averrable for the Radioactive waste emplacement.
