Cementitious grout material will be used to reduce groundwater inflow into the repository of high level radioactive waste. High pH solution derived from cementitious grout material may cause alteration of rock mass by grout-rock interactions. With regard to evaluation of radionuclide migration, it is important to evaluate the long-term behavior of rock mass affected by grout-rock interactions since such altered rock mass potentially affects on migration behavior (e.g., diffusion and sorption) of radionuclide. This study presents the results of identification for trace secondary minerals (alteration products) by (micro)infrared spectroscopy and determination of reaction rate constants of formation for secondary minerals.

Cementitious grout materials will be used to reduce groundwater inflow during excavation and construction of drifts for deep geological disposal of high lever radioactive waste. High alkaline solution derived from cementitious materials could alter the host rock surrounding the engineered barriers. In the present study, the experiments of interactions between the alkaline solution and the granitic rock (10 
10 5 mm block sample) were conducted to understand the evolution of rock properties. The surface of granitic block sample is assumed the fresh fracture surface and the inside of block sample is regarded as rock matrix. Evolution and distribution of alteration products were estimated by both the accelerated laboratory experiments and the computer simulations considering reactive-transport processes.
