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). Geoscientific research and the MIU Project are planned in three overlapping phases; Surface-based Investigation Phase (Phase 1), Construction Phase (Phase 2) and Operation Phase (Phase 3). Currently, the project is under the Construction Phase. This document introduces the results of the research and development in fiscal year 2009, as a part of the Construction Phase based on the MIU Master Plan updated in 2002, (1) Investigation at the MIU Construction Site and the Shobasama Site, (2) Construction at the MIU Construction Site, (3) Research Collaboration, etc. The goals of the Phase 2 are to develop and revise the models of the geological environment using the investigation results obtained during excavation and determine and assess changes in the geological environment in response to excavation, to evaluate the effectiveness of engineering techniques used for construction, maintenance and management of underground facilities, to establish detailed investigation plans of Phase 3.

The Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU), one of the main facilities in Japan for research and development of the technology for high-level radioactive waste disposal, is under construction in Mizunami City. In planning the construction, it was necessary to get reliable information on the bedrock conditions, specifically the rock mass stability and hydrogeology. Therefore, borehole investigations were conducted before excavations started. The results indicated that large water inflow could be expected during the excavation around the Ventilation Shaft at GL-200m and GL-300m Access/Research Gallery. In order to reduce water inflow, pre-excavation grouting was conducted before excavation of shafts and research tunnels. Grouting is the injection of material such as cement into a rock mass to stabilize and seal the rock. This report describes the knowledge and lessons learned during the planning and conducting of pre-excavation grouting.

The excavation and pumping of water from the shafts of Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) project were halted on October 2005 due to fluoride and boron concentrations in the discharge water that exceeded the Japanese Environmental Standards for discharge into rivers. The numerical simulations indicate that predicted volume of inflow water into the shafts would be considerably greater as the shaft sinking advances. Consequently, JAEA decided to carry out pilot borehole investigations from the bottom of the two shafts to acquire information for increasing the capacity of the water treatment facility, planning for the grouting and reconsideration of the facility design by obtaining information on the geological environment. Based on the pilot borehole investigations, information on the geological environment to a depth of around 500 mbGL was obtained and synthesized.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:38.69(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies have been carried out for CaCuRuO,which has been suggested to show a heavy-fermion-like behavioral though it possess no f electron. A Lorentzian shape of the Cu NQR line with a narrow width implies that no magnetic ordering appears, at least, down to 5 K. The spin-lattice relaxation rate of the Cu nuclei probes a change of the Cu 3 electron nature, resulting in the Fermi liquid state at a low temperature. These facts strongly support that the heavy fermion picture is available in the concerned compound.

Cu NMR measurements have been carried out for CaCuRuO, which shows a heavy-fermion-like behavior although it posseses no f electron moment. The field-sweep spectrum observed can be understood as a powder pattern of a Cu nucleus affected by the quadrupole interaction with no axial symmetry. The quadrupole parameters and the Knight shift of Cu are evaluated.

The results from the pilot borehole investigations conducted at FY2006 at Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory are presented. The investigations are carried out to obtain various information for the planning of water treatment facility, planning for the grouting and revision for the construction design by understanding the geological environment below the excavating area. From the result of the investigations, important section of the inflow water and hydrochemical composition which should be treated in the water treatment facility have been obtained. Required informations on the planning for the future construction of MIU are addressed.
