For safety assessment of high-level radioactive waste disposal, it is important to identify the forms of corrosion products migrating from overpack material into compacted bentonite. In this study, the carbon steel, which was previously corroded electrochemically under aerobic condition, was in contact with compacted Kunigel V1 and Kunipia F under reducing condition for 3-4 years at room temperature. The corrosion products migrating from carbon steel into compacted bentonites were investigated by the selective dissolution analysis, which can estimate the crystallinity of Fe-bearing compounds. The valence of iron in corrosion products was investigated spectrophotometrically. Furthermore, the alteration of smectite contained in compacted bentonite to Fe-smectite was analyzed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results of selective dissolution and valence analysis suggested that the corrosion products in compacted bentonite were amorphous, non-crystalline or poorly ordered Fe(OH)$$_{2}$$ and Fe(OH)$$_{3}$$. In the XRD profiles, no diffraction peak suggesting the existence of Fe-smectite in the compacted bentonite was found. Therefore, the corrosion products in compacted bentonite were considered to have no effect on the alteration of smectite contained in Kunigel V1 and Kunipia F to Fe-smectite.

Assessment for radionuclides sorption onto a rock in deep underground is important for the safety assessment of HLW geological disposal. Distribution coefficient, K$$_{d}$$ is an available parameter to assess the sorption in the current safety assessment. We applied a model that the sorption of Cs is dominated by the ion exchange reaction on illite to experimental results of Cs sorption onto Horonobe sedimentary rocks. The equilibrium concentration of Cs was calculated under the conditions same as those adopted in the experiment to estimate the K$$_{d}$$ value. Comparing the calculated results with the experimental data, the model could explain well the dependence of K$$_{d}$$ values on Cs equilibrium concentration. By using the model, it is possible to assess Cs sorption onto a sedimentary rock. However, some differences were also obtained between the experimental data and the calculated one.

Selenium sorption in a sedimentary rock/saline groundwater system and spectroscopic evidence

Xia, X.; Kamei, Gento; Iijima, Kazuki; Shibata, Masahiro

Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings, Vol.932, p.933 - 941, 2005/09

To match the demand of establishment of reliable safety assessment methodology for HLW disposalin Japan, sorption behavior of radionuclides is required to be studied for sedimentary rock. Sorption of Se was conducted by batch sorption tests by using sedimentary rock samples and corresponding saline groundwater from Horonobe URL site under reducing condition, with consideration of site-specific conditions. Spectroscopic analyses were performed by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) after the sorption tests to identify the oxidation states of Se on the sedimentary rock. The sorption tests performed under various parameters allowed to identify that the dominant factors affecting the Se sorption are iron-bearing minerals or oxides and the oganic matter. The XANES analytical results revealed that most Se was Se(0) in the case of natural groundwater, while only some proportions of Se was Se(0) in the case of synthetic groundwater. These suggested that the organic matter probably affect the sorption through changing Se oxidation states, and in a natural sedimentary /saline groundwater system, reduction of selenium to be Se(0), could be expected to be an important sorption mechanism.

For the safety assessment of high level waste disposal, it is necessary to investigate the radionuclide migration in the presence of corrosion products of carbon steel under reducing condition. In this study, the reliable apparent diffusion coefficients of neptunium (Np) in bentonite were obtained by in-diffusion method and migration of the corrosion products was investigated. Furthermore, effects of the corrosion of carbon steel on Np diffusion were discussed. The corrosion of carbon steel under reducing condition provided Fe$$^{2+}$$ions, which were considered to migrate in the interlayer spaces of montmorillonite sheets of bentonite exchanging with two Na$$^{+}$$ions. The corrosion rate of carbon steel was controlled by the diffusivity of Fe$$^{2+}$$ions into bentonite when they were accumulated at the surface of carbon steel. The corrosion rate increased with increasing dry density of bentonite because of the increase of the diffusivity of Fe$$^{2+}$$ions. The corrosion rate was estimated to be ~0.1 micro m/y, which was remarkable lower than the setting value, 20 micro m/y, in the second progress report. The Np profiles in the bentonite consisted of two overlapping slopes, a fast and a slow fractions, for both the experiments with and without carbon steel. The apparent diffusion coefficients of the fast and the slow fraction of Np were 10$$^{-13}$$~10$$^{-12}$$m$$^{2}$$/s and 10$$^{-15}$$~10$$^{-14}$$m$$^{2}$$/s, which were considered to be the diffusion of Np(V) and Np(IV), respectively. The corrosion of carbon steel provided strong reducing condition to keep most Np in the low oxidation state, Np(IV), which has lower solubility and mobility than Np(V). Therefore, it could be expected that the corrosion of carbon steel will restrain effectively migration of Np into the bentonite.

Modeling of cesium sorption onto sedimentary rock

Assessment for radionuclides sorption onto a rock in deep underground is important. The distribution coefficient, K$$_{d}$$ is a available parameter to assess the sorption and the method to predict the sorption in deep environment has to be established. We applied a model that the sorption of Cs is dominated by the ion exchange reaction on the illite for experimental results of Cs sorption onto Horonobe sedimentary rock. The equilibrium concentration of Cs was calculated the geochemical calculation code, PHREEQC under the experiment condition with major cations and solid/liquid ratio to estimate the K$$_{d}$$ value. Comparing the experimental results with the calculated one, the model could explain well the dependence of K$$_{d}$$ values on Cs equilibrium concentration. By using the model, it is possible to assess for Cs sorption onto a sedimentary rock. However, there were some differences between the experimental K$$_{d}$$ values and the calculated one. One of the causes for that was the uncertainties of analytical technique of illite content.
