Manufacturing and Handling Techniques of the Monolithic Buffer Material for HLW Disposal(Special Issue on International Conference on Power and Energy System)

Abstract

Small and large scale tests were performed to evaluate technical feasibility of the monolithic buffer material, defined as a large block of bentonite formed by the cold isostatic pressing, for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Trial manufacturing tests up to approximately 70%-scale of a Japanese disposal concept were carried out and emplacement tests were carried out by vacuum lifting and forklift-type methods for vertical and horizontal emplacement concepts, respectively. Based on the large engineering-scale tests, technical feasibility of the monolithic buffer was demonstrated.
