Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been developing to design trench disposal facility with impermeable layers in order to dispose of miscellaneous waste. Geomembrane liners have a function that prevent seepage of leachant and collect the leachant. However, the geomembrane liners do not necessarily provide the expected performance due to damage generated when heavy equipment contacts with the liner. Therefore, we studied the impermeable layers having high performance of preventing seepage of leachant including radioactivity taking into account characteristics of low permeable materials and effect of multiple layer structure. As results, we have evaluated that the composite layers composed by a drainage layer, geomembrane liners and a low permeable layer are most effective structure to prevent seepage of leachant. Taking into account disposal of waste including cesium, we also considered zeolite containing sheets for adsorption of cesium were installed in the impermeable layers.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is promoting the project for near surface disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated from research facilities, etc. Since a function to reduce infiltration water into the cover soil is needed at trench facilities for very low-level waste, we are calculating the infiltration water through the cover soil which is installed in various composition and parameters of the impermeable sheet, low permeable soil layer and drainage layer by using the HELP code developed by EPA and a calculation code by two-dimensional finite element method. This report outlines these studies that have been conducted on the impermeable function of the trenching facilities.
