For a safety assessment of the high-level radioactive waste disposal, effective diffusion coefficients (D
) of radionuclides in bentonite have been accumulated by the through-diffusion method. It has been found recently that experimental results on Ds for several cations (cesium and strontium) by the fairly standard experimental method in JNC differ from those previously reported in several papers. Discrepancy can be considered to be due to different design of diffusion cell and system. In order to confirm influences of the experimental design on cation diffusivities in bentonite, a flow-through diffusion system was developed and several diffusion experiments were conducted.As a result, magnitude of D and its salinity dependence were relatively different between the standard and flow-through diffusion system. Since the latter system can control boundary conditions of the experiment more strictly than the standard method, we can conclude that the flow-through diffusion system provide correct results. In addition, we apply this flow-through diffusion system to a modification of controlling boundary condition during the experiment and to the diffusion experiment under controlled temperature.

Matrix diffusion is one of the important for evaluating solute transport in granite. Diffusion of ions in granite pore water was studied in order to evaluate diffusivity in rock. Effective diffusion coefficient of uranine was measured using a diffusion cell. The effective diffusion coefficient of uranine in granite without fissure and alteration was found to be in the range 10
to 10
m
s
. The porosities of the granite samples were determined by observation of petrographic thin sections using entity fluorescence microscope. There was a positive correlation between the porosity larger than 1% and the effective diffusion coefficient.

Matrix diffusion is one of the important for evaluating solute transport in crystalline rock. In this study, effective diffusion coefficient, porosity, and resistivity of crystalline rock were measured. There was a positive correlation between the formation factor calculated from the resistivity measurement and the effective diffusion coefficient calculated from the transmission diffusion test. Therefore, the effective diffusion coefficient can be estimated from the resistivity measurement of crystalline rock.
