High content Fly ash Silica fume Cement (HFSC) has been developed as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) to minimize the adverse effects caused by the formation of a hyperalkaline plume. In situ experiments were conducted at the Horonobe underground research laboratory (Hokkaido, Japan) where HFSC and OPC concretes were aged for 5.5 to 9.5 years in mudstones. Samples of the concrete/mudstone interface were then collected and characterized by EPMA, SEM and micro-XRD to evaluate the mineralogical changes. Similar mineralogical changes were observed across the concrete/mudstone interface for both HFSC and OPC experiments, and were associated with Ca depletion from the concretes and Ca diffusion into the mudstone. Ca depletion from HFSC and OPC was driven by the dissolution of C-A-S-H gel and portlandite, respectively. The higher solubility of portlandite led to greater Ca depletion and the mineralogical changes being more pronounced in the case of the OPC experiment. A crust of calcite formed at the concrete/mudstone interface by the reaction of Ca with the Na-HCO dominant mudstone porewater. Ca diffusion into the mudstone caused the precipitation of secondary C-A-S-H minerals with compositions equivalent to the zeolite minerals clinoptilolite and/or phillipsite. Although the mineralogical changes were similar, they were more pronounced in the OPC experiment. HFSC is therefore considered a better alternative to OPC to minimize the adverse effects caused by the formation of a hyperalkaline plume.

低透水粘土バリア材料中の低拡散性は、放射性廃棄物処分場の長期性能評価において、重要な安全機能と認識されている。間隙の連結性が低い低透水粘土材料は、特異な拡散特性を示し、このことが長期拡散挙動に影響を及ぼす可能性が報告されている。日本の幌延URLの稚内層の泥岩、スイスのモンテリURLのオパリナス粘土岩、さまざまな頁岩や粘土鉱物の関連研究において、間隙構造の評価手法(水銀圧入法や中性子小角散乱法など)と、レーザーアブレーションICP-MSによるマイクロスケールでの元素分布分析を組合せたトレーサー試験手法が適用された。これらの試験結果から、間隙の連続性と拡散挙動の特異性との関係が得られた。間隙のサイズは低い透水性や拡散性の主要な要因ではなく、特異な拡散挙動は間隙の連結性に起因していることを明らかにした。
