Times Cited Count:18 Percentile:56.48(Environmental Sciences)Changes of hydrochemical condition resulting from large-scale underground facility construction to 500 m depth in sedimentary and granitic rock were evaluated at the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU), Japan. The investigation of hydrochemical impact around the facility suggests that an understanding of hydrogeological structures, including hydrogeological compartments prior to facility construction and the locating of shafts/galleries in low permeability rock area is essential to minimize hydrochemical disturbances.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) at Tono Geoscience Center (TGC) is pursuing a geoscientific research and development project namely the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) Project in crystalline rock environment in order to construct scientific and technological basis for geological disposal of High-level Radioactive Waste (HLW). The MIU Project has three overlapping phases: Surface-based Investigation phase (Phase I), Construction phase (Phase II), and Operation phase (Phase III). The MIU Project has been ongoing the Phase II and the Phase III in fiscal year 2013. This report presents the results of the investigations, construction and collaboration studies in fiscal year 2013, as a part of the Phase II and Phase III based on the MIU Master Plan updated in 2010.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been investigating the groundwater chemistry on excavating the underground facilities as part of the Mizunami Underground research Laboratory (MIU) Project at Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. In this report, we compiled data obtained by geochemical research for groundwater at the MIU in the fiscal year 2013.

We summarized investigation method of colloid in groundwater. We examined the ultrafiltration of groundwater by using in-situ water monitoring system and batch type airtight container. Additionally, we examined the cross flow filtration method replaced by ultrafiltration. The knowledge of investigating methods is obtained.

We evaluated the Phase I - hydrogeochemical model constructed by Surface-based investigation phase (Phase I), and observed hydrogeochemical change resulting from facility construction in Phase II research. Additionally we developed investigation technique on redox condition, colloid/organics, etc. at gallery in Phase III research. Hydrogeochemical changes in sedimentary rocks and granite resulting from facility construction have been caused by the change of mixing ratio among salinity-distinct groundwaters. Multivariate numerical analysis shows that the groundwater chemistry around drifts would change to that of shallow groundwater in the future. The know-hows on hydrochemical monitoring at the hydrogeological structures and numerical analysis were summarized to infer the hydrochemical changing processes during the facility construction.

The diffusion profiles of strongly sorbing nuclides such as Cm, Am, Ni, in a compacted bentonite show two parts with different slopes which cannot be fitted by simple one-dimensional diffusion model considering single species. The reason for this anomalous diffusion behavior is not understood. Some XANES spectral shape of Ni diffused in compacted montmorillonite, which is main content of bentonite, at relatively higher concentrated region exhibit slight broadening of a feature on the high-energy side of the white line. The broadening of a feature doesn't appear in the case of Ni aqueous solution and Ni-montmorillonite. These results indicate that the inner coordination geometry of the Ni(II) ion diffused in compacted montmorillonite at relatively higher concentrated region.

Dismantling activities of equipments in JAERI's Reprocessing Test Facility (JRTF) started from 1996 as a part of decommissioning of this facility. Removing out of the large liquid waste storage tank LV-2 as a whole tank without cutting in pieces from the annex building B to confirm safety and efficiency of this method started from 2006. After preparatory works, ceiling of LV-2 room was opened, and LV-2 was transferred. Useful data were collected on manpower, radiation control and waste amount through the preparatory works, and work efficiency was analyzed by use of these data.

The condition of facilities and machinery used continuously were investigated before the renewal work of JMTR on FY 2007. The subjects of investigation were reactor building, primary cooling system tanks, secondary cooling system piping and tower, emergency generator and so on. As the result, it was confirmed that some facilities and machinery were necessary to repair and others were used continuously for long term by maintaining on the long-term maintenance plan. JMTR is planed to renew by the result of this investigation.

Matrix diffusion and sorption of radionuclides in crystalline host rocks are key processes controlling safe geological disposal of radioactive waste. Diffusion and sorption parameters for Cs, Na, I and HTO were determined by laboratory experiments using granodiorite samples from the Grimsel Test Site, Switzerland. The De values derived were in the order Cs Na HTO I. The capacity factor and Kd values show the same trends. Depth profiles of Cs and Na obtained by abrasing samples after a diffusion period showed typical dual profiles. The results of in-situ long-term diffusion tests at GTS were interpreted by using GoldSim code and transport parameters based on laboratory results and their extrapolations to in-situ conditions. These model calculations could the in-situ LTD results of Cs and Na reasonably well, although it was difficult to interpret HTO results. Key findings from these comparative studies between laboratory experiments and in-situ LTD tests were discussed.

A microstructure of the crystalline rock from Grimsel Test Site prepared by injection of Cs ion and X-ray contrast media using centrifugal force was analyzed by micro focus X-ray CT and EPMA. These results were compared with the results of diffusion test of radionuclei to understand diffusion mechanism of the radionuclei in crystalline rock.

Am(III) diffusion experiment were performed by reservoir depletion (RD) test method coupled with thin layer ID profile fitting in 0.1 or 0.5M NaCl / 0.05M NaHCO - bentonite (kunipia-F) system. The Kd values were also measured using batch technique in the same experimental conditions. In an ordinary ID profile acquisition cutting the bentonite by scraper, the compacted bentonite sample can be cut into 100 m thick slices. Using this technique, it was possible to divide the ID profile into 10 m and therefore, to analyze diffusion distance layer larger than 50 m.

Natural analogue study on colloidal radionuclide migration was carried out by using rare earth elements (REE) in deep granitic groundwater. The analysis of REE on colloid and the chemical property indicates that the mobility of REE is affected by carbonates-colloid. While the clay-colloid and organic-colloid has less influence for REE mobility.
