It is predictable from previous studies that radiocesium hardly migrate into surrounding soils and groundwater from soils contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident if they are buried and covered with indigenous soils. This study demonstrated the prediction by performing in-situ migration experiments over a year in a public park in Miho, Ibaraki prefecture and in two public parks in Misato, Saitama prefecture. Contaminated soils were buried at a depth range of 0.3 - 1.0 m or at 0.3 - 1.3 m and covered with indigenous soil layer of 0.3 m, and were sprinkled with water to accelerate the radiocesium migration. Migration of radiocesium was not observed from radiometric analyses of boring cores and soil water samples. Laboratory column and sorption experiments revealed that the radiocesium hardly leach out of the soil and even if they leach out from the contaminated soil, radiocesium is sorbed on surrounding soils and hardly migrate through the soli layer. Simulation of Cs-137 migration for 100 years by an advection-diffusion model showed that Cs-137 hardly migrate and decay out in the contaminated soil.

In July 2007, the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan (NSC) formulated "Basic Policy for Safety Regulation Concerning Land Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste (Interim Report)". "Classification of Scenarios into Three Types" and their "Standard Dose Values" were indicated in this report. In this study, some scenarios for safety assessment were developed as "Inadvertent Human Intrusion or Rare Natural Event Scenarios" based on the previous technical documents. The parameters were set up for dose calculation and the exposure doses were calculated. As the result, exposure doses in all cases were less than 10 mSv/y$$sim$$100 mSv/y (standard exposure dose of "Inadvertent Human Intrusion or Rare Natural Event Scenarios").

The purpose of this study was to assess exposure dose of "Likely Scenarios" and "Less-likely Scenarios" on sub-surface disposal. They were two of "Classification of three types scenarios" in "Basic Policy for Safety Regulation Concerning Land Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste (Interim Report)" formulated by the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan. Selection of the assessed scenarios, development of the assessment tool and preliminary exposure dose assessment were conducted. Maximum exposure doses for "Likely Scenarios" and "Less-likely Scenarios" were less than each standard dose value in the Interim Report (Likely Scenarios: 10$$mu$$Sv/y, Less-likely Scenarios: 300$$mu$$Sv/y).

This study was carried out the evaluation of exposure dose on "Less-likely Scenarios" according to "Basic Policy for Safety Regulation Concerning Land Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste (Interim Report)" (In July 2007, the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan). When the evaluation modeling was constructed, "Evaluation scenario" and "Fluctuating parameter" were simplified "Physical, chemical change of the disposal system according to the climatic variation and the tectonic movement" that was the event foreseen happening in the future to "Release coefficient from the disposal facilities of the nuclide", "Distribution coefficient of the natural barrier", "Velocity of the underground water", and "Distance of the transfer path". As the result, exposure doses in all cases for "Less-likely scenarios" were less than 300 $$mu$$Sv/y (standard exposure dose of "Less-likely Scenarios").

In this study, some scenarios for safety assessments were developed. According to each developed scenario, the parameters were set up for dose calculation. Calculated results were analyzed and summarized from the viewpoints of effects of radionuclide migration parameters such as release coefficient, distribution coefficient, ground water velocity and migration distance. Dose more than 10 $$mu$$ Sv/y was calculated in some cases. Increase of ground water velocity or decrease of distribution coefficient caused by sea water inflow into migration path influenced slightly on the dose excess. In case of rapid change of the parameters, severe influences on the dose excess were observed. But, it wasn't thought that this rapid change would happen actually. On the other hand, in case of linear assumption of parameter change from 10,000 y to 100,000 y, dose less than 10 $$mu$$ Sv/y was calculated.

Uranium waste has characteristics that it is rarely expected to decay its radioactivity and it is not almost recessary to consider external exposure to radiation from waste package. We studied resonable sub-surface disposal concepts for uranium waste considering the characteristics. It showed feasibility of this system. In 2006, the study was done to evaluate the correlation between dose to the public and the parameter in consideration of the uncertainty of the parameter by comprehensive sensitivity analysis calculating repeatedly dose with the data sets by random sampling in parameter ranges given adequately, because last year's study was an evaluation intended for a limited site. The result was that two parameters, "flow velocity of underground water of repository neighborhood" and "distribution coefficient of uranium in natural barrier", had correlation with dose to the public.

Uranium waste has characteristics that it is rarely expected to decay its radioactivities and it is not almost necessary to consider external exposure to radiation from waste package. We studied reasonable sub-surface disposal concepts for uranium waste in 2004 and 2005 considering the characteristics. In 2005, we studied necessity of engineered barrier for the disposal of uranium waste, considering change of chemical condition around disposal facilities over long periods of time. Safety assessment was made to analyze effect of difference in sorption parameters at reduction and oxidation conditions. The assessment showed that change from reduction to oxidation around disposal facilities did not lead to increase dose to the public. The assessment with realistic sorption parameters showed that dose to the public was not more than 10 $$mu$$Sv/y. The results proved that it was not necessary to keep reduction conditions around disposal facilities. This two-year- study showed that there was possibility of sub-surface disposal system without engineered barrier for uranium waste.

The propose of study was safety assessment of "Likely scenarios" and "Less-likely scenarios" on sub-surface disposal. They were two of "Classification of three types scenarios" in "Basic Policy for Safety Regulation Concerning Land Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste (Interim Report)" formulated by the NSC. Selection of the assessed scenarios, development of the assessment tool and preliminary exposure dose assessment were conducted according to the standard of the AESJ. As the results, Maximum exposure doses for "Likely Scenarios" and "Less-Likely Scenarios" were less than each standard dose value in the Interim Report (Likely Scenarios: 10$$mu$$Sv/y, Less-Likely Scenarios: 300$$mu$$Sv/y).
