"Geoscientific research" at Tono are developing site investigation and assessment techniques in geological environment. One of their important themes is to establish rational methodology to reduce uncertainties associated with the understanding of geological environment, which often exhibits significant heterogeneity. Purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate uncertainties associated with the understanding of geological environment. Because it is useful to guide designing effective site investigation techniques to reduce the uncertainty. For this, a methodology of the uncertainty analysis concerning the heterogeneous geological environment has been developed. In this report the methodology has also been tested through an exercise attempted in Tono area to demonstrate its applicability. This report summarizes as follows: 1)The exercise shows that the methodology considered 'variability' and 'ignorance' can demonstrate its applicability at three-dimensional case. 2)The exercise shows that the methodology can identity and evaluate uncertainties concerning ground water flow associated with performance assessment. 3)Based on sensitivity analysis, it is possible for the methodology to support designs of the following stage investigations to reduce the uncertainties efficiently.

In this study, through development of cnceptual models of geological environment based on those data, the flows from data collection to modeling, which have been constructed independently for each geological environment of geology / geological structure , hydrogeology, geochemistry of groundwater and rock mechanics , were synthesized , adn a systematic approach includeing process from investigation of geological environment to its modeling was established , which is expected to ensure objectivity and raceability of the design and safety assessment of a disposal system.

For the geological disposal of high level radioactive wastes, after placement of the wastes, it is necessary to close off (to be called "sealing" hereafter) the underground potential passages (disposal pits, disposal tunnels, main and connecting tunnels and access tunnels) with an effective combination of engineered barriers such as buffers, backfilling materials, plugs and grout. It is necessary to ensure the long-term durability to isolate disposed wastes in the system. The results of the research works this year are as follows ; (1) Basic data could be measured in the tunnel sealing experiments at URL site for sealing performance as the result of seepage, swelling pressure, evaporation rate and tracer concentration in and around the plug with increase of chamber pressure. (2) The transport properties around the plug could be evaluated based on a comparison between the results of tracer test and numerical analysis. (3) The sealing concept of foreign countries could be reviewed to establish the Japanese sealing concept and to clarify the requirement for sealing technique. This work was performed by KAJIMA Corporation under contract with Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Agency.

It is necessary to ensure the long-term durability to isolate disposed wastes in the system. The results of the research works this year are as follows; (1)It could be estimated in the tunnel sealing experiments at URL site that seepage, swelling pressure and tracer concentration in the plug were changed with increase of pressure. (2)The transport properties around the plug could be evaluated based on a comparison between the results of tracer test and numerical analysis.
