A capability to permanently seal fluid flow-paths through bedrock, like boreholes or underground tunnels, is needed to ensure the long-term safety and effectiveness of many underground activities e.g. CO storage, hydrocarbon field abandonment, and nuclear waste disposal. Commonly used cementitious seals may not be sufficiently durable due to chemical and physical degradation. Learning from natural calcite (CaCO
) concretion formation, a more durable sealing method was developed using a "concretion-forming solvent". The method was tested by sealing flow-paths next to a tunnel in an underground research laboratory at 350 meters depth. The flow-paths initially sealed rapidly, then resealed after disturbance by earthquakes (M5.4). The treated rock recovered its very low natural permeability, demonstrating permanent sealing that is robust.

A capability to permanently seal fluid flow-paths in bedrock, such as natural faults/fractures, and damaged zones around boreholes/excavations, is needed to ensure the long-term safety and effectiveness of many underground activities. Cementitious materials are commonly used as seals, however these materials unavoidably undergo physical and chemical degradation, therefore potentially decreasing seal durability. In order to solve these problems, a more durable sealing method using concretion-forming resin has been developed by learning from natural calcite (CaCO) concretion formation. The sealing capability of resin was tested by
experiments on bedrock flow-paths in an underground research laboratory (URL), Hokkaido, Japan. The results showed a decrease the permeability rapidly down to 1/1,000 of the initial permeability due to calcite precipitation over a period of one year. During the experiment inland earthquakes occurred with foci below the URL (depths 2-7 km and maximum magnitude 5.4). Due to the earthquakes the hydraulic conductivities of the flow-paths sealed initially by concretion-forming resin increased. However, these flow-paths subsequently resealed rapidly, and within a few months recovered the same hydraulic conductivities as before the earthquakes. This new technique for rapidly producing long-lasting seals against fluid flow through rocks will be applicable to many kinds of underground activities.

Neutron radiography is one of the non-destructive methods. In this research, neutron radiography was applied to visualize and quantify the water penetration into concrete through cracks. The radiographs were obtained by the TNRF (Thermal Neutron Radiography Facility) installed at a research reactor, JRR-3M, in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The quantitative capability of neutron radiography for the water content and the penetration depth in cement paste specimen were confirmed. The effects of crack and water content on the velocity and the depth of water penetration into concrete were visualized with several concrete specimens, to which surface water was supplied through the container.

At the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, contaminated water has remained in the buildings, and alpha nuclides such as plutonium have been detected. Analysis results of contaminated water indicate that plutonium concentration is decreasing downstream, therefore there is concern that plutonium is remaining in the reactor buildings. To evaluate the depth of penetration of -nuclides into the wall surface of the building contacted with contaminated water, a sample consisting of two cement paste test pieces was immersed in simulated contaminated water. When the crack width was less than 0.1 mm, the penetration depth of
-nuclides did not increase due to cracking and remained within 2 mm from the surface layer. On the other hand, the penetration of
-nuclides increased significantly when the crack width was 0.5 mm or more, suggesting that the effect of cracks of about 0.1 mm, which is expected in normal operation, is small, whereas the formation of large cracks during an accident may result in the penetration of
-nuclides.
