After failures, TEPCO to use special
cement to prevent contaminated water leaks
by Tsuyoshi Nagano & Hiromi Kumai
The operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant plans to fill
in trenches on the coastline in yet another attempt to prevent
highly contaminated water from pouring into the sea.
Under the plan, approved by the Nuclear Regulation Authority on
Nov. 21, Tokyo Electric Power Co. will inject a special cement
mixture into the seaside trenches of the No. 2 and No. 3 reactors
while pumping up radioactive water accumulating in them.
The special mixture does not absorb water so it can spread more
easily along the bottom of the trenches, displacing the tainted
water.
The new method will allow radioactive materials to remain in the
surrounding soil, but TEPCO decided to employ the technique
because it puts high priority on preventing massive amounts of
highly contaminated water from leaking into the ocean.
This spring, TEPCO tried to stop the water influx at the trench
for the No. 2 reactor by freezing the junction of the turbine
building and the trench, but the operation was tough-going.
The company then attempted to stop the water inflow with a cement
mixture, but was unable to do so completely.

METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING SEMI-BASEMENT STRUCTURE FOR
RADIOACTIVE WASTE
KR101399295
The present invention relates to a method for constructing a
semi-basement for storing radioactive waste and, more
particularly, to a method for constructing a semi-basement for
storing radioactive waste, capable of performing an impervious
construction and preventing the diffusion of radioactive materials
by installing hydrophobic limestone powder, a radiation shielding
sheet, and a waterproof panel between the ground and a wall while
constructing an upper structure on the ground after constructing
the wall and base of a silo under the ground by excavating the
ground. Also, the structure is applied to a base rock, a soft
ground, a sand ground, and a subterranean water ground. An impact
buffering space part is separated from the wall installed under
the ground with a preset distance. An earthquake-proof structure
is designed and the diffusion of the radiation is prevented in an
emergency situation by filling the impact buffering space part
with cement mortar and curing the cement mortar with the impact
buffering materials in the emergency situation when the impact
buffering space part is filled with impact buffering materials.
PROCESS FOR RADIATION-CHEMICAL DECREASING OF WATER ABSORPTION
OF CEMENT BRICK
UA92880
The invention relates to building, namely to the development of a
process for radiation-chemical improving of performance
characteristics of building materials based on cement brick. The
process comprises penetration treatment of cement brick by the
mixture of organosilicon monomer -
vinylheptamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and polymethylsiloxane liquid
with their further copolymerization in concrete volume under
action of accelerated electrons. The process provides the
increasing of hydrophobic and strength properties of cement brick.
PLUGGING FLUID AND PROCESS FOR PLUGGING A ZONE OF A
SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION USING THIS FLUID
WO2013092818
Plugging fluid for plugging a zone of a subterranean formation
adjacent to a drill hole, especially an oil drill hole, said fluid
consisting of a hydrophobic liquid containing a solid silicate or
a solid metasilicate, a clay, and a hydraulic cement. Process for
plugging a zone of a subterranean formation adjacent to a drill
hole, in which said plugging fluid is transported up to said zone
while avoiding any contact with water, and in said zone the
plugging fluid is brought into contact with an aqueous solution
containing cations chosen from alkali metal cations and
alkaline-earth metal cations, by means of which a flash setting of
the plugging fluid occurs. The process makes it possible to seal
the zones of loss of circulation, to permanently isolate zones of
a subterranean formation adjacent to a well, surrounding a well,
and to put an end to transverse flows. It also makes it possible
to block or close up the drilling wells that must be abandoned.
METHOD OF SOLIDIFYING RADIOACTIVE WASTE
JPH0484800
PURPOSE:To obtain a sound solidified body with high waterproof by
performing solidification after the operation for painting the
hydrophobic substance in a solidification vessel is performed.
CONSTITUTION:After the moisture of waste resin is adjusted from a
waste resin tank 1 through a dehydrater 2, it is introduced into a
kneading tank 6 with a mixer 7. In a solidification system, a
specified quantity of cement from a cement silo 3 is introduced
into the kneading tank 6, a specified quantity of water from a
kneading water tank 4 is put therein and a specified quantity of a
water reducing agent and the like from an addition agent hopper 5
is introduced therein. A solidification vessel 11, for instance,
is previously treated in a hydrophobic compound tank in which
silicone grease of a low coefficient of viscosity and the like and
mixture of grease are put. The previous disposal is performed by
painting on the inner wall face of the tank 11 through spray drive
power 9 and a spray nozzle 10. After the painting for about 30
minutes the vessel 11 is carried to the lower part of the kneading
tank 6, radioactive waste resin homogeneously kneaded is charged
therein from the kneading tank 6 to form a solidified body 12.
