This research arranged the relation with the events (the events which happen to each part grade of disposal institution and change) produced to the characteristic in connection with low permeability and the disposal system of barrier material, such as permeability. The important events which can affect the long stability of the performance which barrier material has by that cause, and its relation were extracted. And, the physical-properties data acquisition of bentonite supposing the events considered to be generated to a disposal system in the future was carried out. The research result of this year is shown below. (1)About the events considered to affect permeability, "the present knowledge and the reseach result" and the "view of a design about a event" were arranged. And it divided and arranged the time of construction and operation, and after closure. Consequently, the subject required in order to check the long stability of TRU waste disposal system was able to be extracted. (2)In order for the research in the last year to estimate the self-seal nature of a bentonite, swelling pressure and the permeability at the time of the bentonite which generated the maximum swelling pressure under the restricted condition for Na-bentonite and Ca-bentonite 100% material re-swelling to the space produced after that were acquired. About this result, the view of effective bentonite dryness density was applied, and the self-seal performance of the assumed material (bentonite 70%, silica 30%) examined in TRU waste disposal concept examination document was evaluated. In order to check the validity of the evaluation in the last year, the self-seal performance check experiment was conducted about the silica mixture bentonite. Consequently, the soundness of a barrier system was able to be checked by the specification of H12 TRU report.

TRU waste should be isolated from biosphere for a long period of time as it includes long lived nuclides. In this study, (1) data were conected on the mechanical properties of engineered barrier materials, (2) affection on the mechanical properties of Na bentonito by salt water was studied and (3) soundness of the disposal system against changes in the volume of engineered banier was evaluated, to examine critical events related to the long-term soundness of the disposal system. Described below are the results of the studies. (1) The swelling pressure, swelling amount and permeability were obtained for a material consisting of NaCa-exchanged bentonito and silica sand with a relative weight of 30% (with a dry density of 1.6 Mgm
) by supplying saturated calcium hydroxide aqeous solution. As a result, it was confirmed that the swelling pressure and permeability were approximately estimated from the relation between these properties and the effective dry density of bentonito. (2) The swelling pressure, swelling amount and permeability were obtained for a material consisting of salty Na bentonito and silica sand with a relative weight of 30% (with a dry density of 1.6 Mgm) by supplying artifical salt water. As a result, it was confirmed that these properties were approximately these properties of NaCa-bentonito. (3) Tests were conducted as a part of the evaluation of system soundness against changes in the volume of engineered barrier. Development of a void around bentonito was assumed. Self sealing of Na and NaCa-exchanged bentonito, and theirs water cut-off capability and swelling pressure were investigated.As a result, it was confirmed that the change of permeability and swelling pressure under self sealing of bentonito. Based on the test results (i.e. the both relations between the swelling pressure and dry density, and the permeability and dry density), soundness of the system was verified against changes of the volume of engineered barrier materials.

Power and particle control is challenging for standard D-shaped H-mode scenario in tokamak. Possibility of negative triangularity as innovative tokamak concept is discussed by Kikuchi et al. Experimental and numerical studies of negative triangular plasma at CRPP-EPFL success-fully demonstrated improved connement and the weakening of the SOL flow acceleration is implied for the negative triangularity. Recent studies on mechanism of type II and grassy ELM show importance of closure of second stability access to achieve small ELM regimes and also kinetic effects. Medvedev showed that closure of second stability also occurs for negative triangularity. But the MHD stability in negative triangularity is a bit more complicated so that closure of second stability does not imply easy access to small ELM regimes. We discuss critical elements behind.
