Radioactive wastes arising from radioisotope facilities and nuclear research facilities should be disposed of in the surface of the earth, the shallow underground,the adequate depth and the deep undergruond according to radioactivity concentration, and should be managed during several hundreds years. For the selection of disposal site, it is necessary to survey the beginning of earth scientific phenomena observed in the Japanese Islands at present and to reconnoiter the prospective features. This report reviewed on the genesis and classification of sediments, earth scientific phenomena observed in the Japanese Islands and the feature of each place(10 districts) concerning to the Quaternary period in the newest geological time unit.
