During the excavation of shafts and galleries in the deep subsurface for disposing of high-level radioactive waste, an excavation disturbed zone (EdZ) or excavation damaged zone (EDZ) is developed around the shafts and galleries. Such zones could influence the transfer behavior of radioactive nuclides, and it is therefore important to understand the behavior of the EdZ or EDZ. We performed in situ experiments before, during, and after gallery excavation in galleries of 140 and 250 m in depth in an area of soft sedimentary rock in Japan. The results demonstrate that the extent of fractures induced by the gallery excavation related with EDZ was confined to about 0.45 m from the gallery wall in the 140 m gallery and to about 1 m from the gallery wall in the 250 m gallery. The extent of the unsaturated zone related with EdZ was about 1 m in the 140 m gallery, but an unsaturated zone did not appear in the 250 m gallery.

In the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory, Groundwater REcoverty Experiment in Tunnel (GREET) is performed to understanding the recovery process of geological environment after the closure of drift. In this experiment, we performed 2D electrical resistivity surveys three times. First survey was performed before the closure of test drift. Second and third surveys were performed after the closure test. The first survey detected two layers conformation that consists of conductive and resistive zones at shallower and deeper part from the drift surface, respectively. These layers correspond to the shotcrete and host rock, respectively. Second and third measurements show that the conductive zone expanded to deeper resistive part while the shallower conductive part did not change. We concluded that we captured the saturation process of dried fractures near the drift wall by closure of drift as an electrical resistivity response.

In an excavation of shafts and galleries in the deep underground for disposing high level radioactive waste, an excavation disturbed zone (EdZ) or excavation damaged zone (EDZ) is developed around the shafts and galleries owing to the stress redistribution. It is important to understand the behavior of the EdZ or EDZ because these zone could have an effect on the transfer behavior of radioactive nuclide. Therefore, the authors performed the in situ experiment to investigate the behavior of EdZ or EDZ in the 140m and 250m gallery in the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory. From the result of the experiments, the authors compared the characteristics of EdZ or EDZ between those in 140m and 250m gallery. The extent of the fractures induced by the gallery excavation, i.e., EDZ was about 0.45m in the 140m gallery and about 1m in the 250m gallery. The extent of the unsaturated zones related with EdZ was about 1m in the 140m gallery, however, unsaturated zone was not appeared in the 250m gallery.

Based on the groundwater scenario, prediction of the transport of radionuclides from waste disposal facilities requires an understanding of deep groundwater flow system. Capabilities offering by isotope techniques using environmental tracer enable one to estimate past and present behavior of groundwater system, and therefore establish a basis for future predictions. A study area was selected in Japan and hydrogeological study has been performed. On the other hand, fractures in the hard rock mass play an important role on groundwater flow at the depth. Basic study was performed for resistivity tomography, one of the useful techniques for the evaluation of rock fractures.

The purpose of this study is to understand the material properties of manufacturable high-purity iron and high-purity iron-based alloy in present technology and to get an applicable prospect for the structural and functional material of the frontier fast reactor. Then the about 10kg high-purity iron and iron-based alloy were melted using a cold-crucible induction melting furnace under the ultra-high vacuum. Subsequent to that, the compatibility between the melted material and the high-temperature sodium environment which is a special feature of the fast reactor and tensile property at room and elevated temperatures were investigated using the melted materials. Also, the creep test using the high-purity 50%Cr-Fe alloy at 550C in air in order to understand the high temperature creep property. ln addition, the material properties such as thermal expansion coefficient, specific heat and electrical resistance were measured and to evaluate the outlook for the structural material for the fast reactor. The following results were obtained based on the property test and evaluation. (1)lt was possible to melt the about 10kg high-purity ingot and high-purity 50%Cr-Fe alloy ingot using a cold-crucible induction melting furnace under the ultra-high vacuum. (2)The tensile tests of the high-purity 50%Cr-Fe alloy were performed at room and elevated temperatures in order to understand the deformation behavior. From the experimental results, it was clear that the high-purity 50%Cr-Fe alloy possesses high strength and good ductility at elevated temperatures. (3)The physical properties (the thermal expansion coefficient and specific heat etc.) were measured using the high-purity 50%Cr-Fe alloy. lt was clear that the thermal expansion coefficient of high-purity 50%Cr-Fe alloy was smaller than that of SUS304. (4)From the corrosion test in liquid sodium, the ordinary-purity iron showed the weight loss after corrosion test. However the high-purity iron showed ...
