Research Abstract |
As a fundamental study for the safety assessment of the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, the mesoscopic structures of the expected barrier materials (bentonite and sedimentary rock) were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray micro CT observation and μ-PIXE analysis. The hydraulic conductivity, diffusivity, and distribution coefficient of radioactive tracers were determined as indicators in order to relate the barrier performance to the mesoscopic structures.
