Hydrogeological condition is an important aspect for site evaluation and the groundwater formation is a key factor to reflect the hydrogeological conditions for a certain area. Isotopic method is the one of the important means to determine the groundwater formation. Through the sampling and analysis of shallow groundwater isotopes of Yemaquan region, combined with geological, hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical characteristics, the issue of groundwater formation in the study region was discussed. The main cognition is that the groundwater in the region was formed from the infiltration of modern rainfall and the strong evaporation was happened for the shallow groundwater, which indicates the circulation conditions were relatively good for the shallow groundwater. This cognition provides very important hydrgeological information and basis for the evaluation of Yemaquan preselected site.展开更多

The states of temperatures, pore pressures and nuclide concentrations in the near field of a hypothetical nuclear waste repository were investigated. The influence of the half life of the radioactive nuclide on the temporal change of nuclide concentration was analyzed considering the thermo-hydro-mechanical-migratory coupling. The results show that, at the boundary of the vitrified waste, the concentration of radioactive nuclide with a half life of 10 a falls after a period of rising, with the maximum value of 0.182 mol/m3 and the minimum value of 0.181 mol/m^3 at the end of computation. For a half life of 1 000 a, the concentration of radioactive nuclide always increases with the increase of the time during the computation period; and the maximum value is 1.686 mol/m^3 at the end of the computation. Therefore, under the condition of THM coupling, the concentration of radioactive nuclide with a shorter half life will decrease more quickly with water flow; but for the radioactive nuclide with a longer half life, its concentration will keep at a higher level for a longer time in the migration process.展开更多

Proper treatment and disposal of it has already become a worldwide problem, and has become one of the key factors of restricting nuclear energy for sustainable development. Zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) is one of the most stable mineral on the Earth and actinide major parasitic phase, therefore, it is widely used to solidify actinides separated from high level radioactive waste. In this paper, the zirconolite solid solution was synthesized by high temperature solid-stated method using a particular composition of simulated Np/Pu radioactive incineration ash (SRIA). The phase composition has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the calcined temperature gained according to thermogravimetry scanning calorimeter (TG-DSC) analysis. Anti-leaching performance has also been researched with MCC-1 method. Results show that CaZrTi2O7 can load 40% SRIA, the accumulated leaching fraction of Ca is only about 10-4 cm in 28 days at 90 ℃, the concentrations of Zr , Ti and other noble metal ions were all less than detectability of ICP-MS, the leaching rate , normalization leaching rate, and accumulated leaching fraction of all Zr , Ti and other noble ions were 10-8 cm/d, 10-8 g/cm2·d and 10-7 cm, the results indicate that the zirconolite solidification has excellent chemical durability.展开更多

In this study, the thermal properties transient automatic tester (HPP-F) is uesd to study the thermal conductivity of multiphase composite buffer/backfill material including the type B-Z and B-Z-P (Here B、Z、P represents bentonite、zeolite and pyrite respectively,the same as in the following.) in different dry density and moisture conditions. The results show that for the same moisture content (dry density), thermal conductivity of specimens increases as the dry density (moisture content) increases. As a result, the type B-Z-P which is highly compacted of 1.8 g/cm3 in dry density and 17.65% in moisture content performs well, it meets the requirements of the IAEA and is easy to be compacted ,so it can be recommend as a alternative material of high level radioactive waste disposal repository buffer/backfilling materials.展开更多
