In Japan, the Federation of Electric Power Companies and The Japan Atomic Energy Agency have been collaborating with relevant organizations to promote generic R&D for the safe geological disposal of TRU waste based on the technical achievements in Japan's HLW disposal program. A result of this collaborative effort was production of a recent progress report on the R&D for TRU waste disposal in Japan (project TRU-2). This paper is an overview of TRU-2 describing the key results and some unique methodologies developed.

Long half-life low heat generating radioactive waste (TRU waste) containing higher amount of radionuclide is considered to be disposed into a geologic formation. As an optimized geologic disposal of the waste, a technical possibility of co-disposal with high-level radioactive waste is being studied. An assessment result shows that a co-disposal is possible in a Japanese representative geologic environment by setting these repositories at a certain distance apart because reciprocal influences can be avoided. Atomic Energy Commission of Japan deliberated on the result and judged that the co-disposal concept described in the 2nd progress TRU report has a technical possibility. On the other side, future studies are required from the view points of (1) more reliable assessment of co-disposal, (2) expansion of generic assessment basis, and (3) flexible correspondence for wide geologic environmental conditions. This article shows a current status of the investigations of TRU waste disposal including an overview of the disposal concept and concrete items for the future studies.

Transport variations and characteristics of tidal currents in the Tsugaru Strait (TS) are investigated using the ship-mounted ADCP data obtained during October 29, 1999 - March 31, 2000. The Tsugaru Strait connects the North Pacific Ocean (NPO) and Japan/East Sea (JES), and is a main output for Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) in the JES. The strong northeastwards mean current was found in the center of the strait, and counter flows exist near the Hokkaido and Honshu coasts. The estimated mean net eastward transport is 1.8 Sv (1Sv=10m
s
). In the TS, the transports of K1 and M2 across the strait are 0.72 Sv and 0.52 Sv, respectively. From the phase analysis, it is understood the K1 is progressive wave-like while the M2 is standing wave-like. We also find a significant barotropic fortnightly oscillation. The Mf tide is more energetic along the JES coast with the amplitude of 1-3cm, while the Mf tide amplitudes in the NPO are less than 1 cm. It is inferred that observed fortnightly oscillation may be generated by the difference of Mf tide amplitude between both sides of the TS.

The variation of velocity and volume transport of the Tsugaru Warm Current (TWC) is investigated based on the data of continuous and cross-sectional current monitoring in the Tsugaru Strait. During November 1999 - March 2000, the structure of the velocity transection across the strait was almost stable in which the TWC occupied the central part of the strait, while the returning flows existed in the northern and southern part of the strait, and these indicate a totally declining trend. The volume transport of the TWC varies from 2.1 to 1.1 Sv, with the mean value of 1.5 Sv, following the variation of the TWC. The temporal variation of the volume transport shows a linear correlation with that of the sea level difference between the Japan Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The contribution of the sea level difference to the volume transport is estimated to be roughly 70 %.

Variabilities of the periodical current fluctuations on the shelf in Hidaka Bay were examined with use of ferry-mounted ADCP data obtained during 2000-2001. As the result of analysis, (1) three periodical variations around 10-, 25- and 60-day period are found, (2) the horizontal phase lag of these variations is little along the ship track, and the vertical phase lag is little at 10- and 25-day variations while several-day at 60-day variation, and (3) the 10-day variation shows coherent cross-correlation between current and wind.
