RESULTS OF MONITORING AT OLKILUOTO IN 2013, FOREIGN MATERIALS

ABSTRACT

This report focuses on foreign materials introduced to ONKALO. These foreign materials are not part of the engineered multi-barrier system or the natural environment. All the approved materials introduced to ONKALO are included in the material handbook. Foreign materials control and management is one of the ONKALO construction safety critical functions. Other safety critical functions for the ONKALO construction are monitoring of leakages, EDZ (excavation damage zone) and drilling.

Updated ONKALO monitoring program was introduced in the beginning of 2012. The updated program will be used for the period before repository operation. Only minor changes were implemented. Monitoring has been carried out according to updated plan.

Excavation of ONKALO access tunnel was completed the in 2012. Demonstration tunnel 3 and demonstration tunnel 4 were excavated and vehicle access 13 was continued from chainage 4366-22 to chainage 4366-60 in 2013. Total excavated volume in 2013 was 4 102 m3. During the years from 2004 to 2013 the total excavated volume was 317 605 m3. All materials used in ONKALO in 2013 are listed in this report. This report also summaries the total amount of foreign materials used in ONKALO since 2004.

All waters used during the excavation of ONKALO have been pumped up to the surface into a sedimentation pool of ONKALO. In 2013, water samples were taken from sedimentation pool of ONKALO and from the outlet ditch. The chemistry of these waters can indicate us how the foreign materials have effected on the undisturbed groundwater chemistry.

VIERAIDEN AINEIDEN MONITOROINTI ONKALOSSA 2013

TIIVISTELMÄ

Tässä raportissa käsitellään ONKALOon vuoden 2013 aikana vietyjä materiaaleja. Vieraat materiaalit ovat ONKALOn rakentamisessa käytettäviä aineita, jotka eivät kuulu moniesteperiaatteeseen eivätkä kallioperään. Kaikki ONKALOssa käytettäväksi hyväksytyt materiaalit on listattu materiaalikäsikirjassa. Vieraiden materiaalien valvonta ja hallinta on yksi ONKALOn rakentamisen turvallisuuskriittisistä toiminnoista, joista muut ovat vuotovesien seuranta, EDZ (louhinnan vauriovyöhyke) ja kairaukset ONKALOn alueella.

Päivitetty ONKALOn monitorointiohjelma otettiin käyttöön vuoden 2012 alussa. Päivitys on voimassa ajalle ennen loppusijoituksen aloitusta. Seurantaan liittyvät muutokset olivat vähäisiä ja se on toteutunut suunnitelman mukaisesti.

ONKALOn ajotunneli louhittiin valmiiksi vuoden 2012 aikana. Vuonna 2013 demonstraatiotunneli 3 ja demonstraatiotunneli 4 louhittiin sekä ajoneuvoyhteyttä 13 jatkettiin paalulta 4366-22 paalulle 4366-60. Louhittu kalliotilavuus oli 4 102 m3. Vuosina 2004 - 2013 louhitun kallion kokonaistilavuus on 317 605 m3. Tässä raportissa on esitetty kaikki vuoden 2013 aikana ONKALOn rakentamisessa käytetyt vieraat materiaalit. Tässä raportissa esitetään myös kaikki ONKALOn rakentamisen alusta vuodesta 2004 lähtien käytettyjen vieraiden aineiden määrät.

Kaikki ONKALOn rakentamisen aikana käytetty vesi pumpataan maanpinnalle sedimentaatioaltaaseen. Vuonna 2013 vesinäytteitä otettiin sedimentaatioaltaasta ja purkuputken päästä. Näiden vesien kemian muutokset ennakoivat vieraiden materiaalien vaikutuksia perustilan vesikemiaan.

Avainsanat: vieraat materiaalit, käytetyn ydinpolttoaineen loppusijoitus, monitorointi, Olkiluoto, ONKALO.

1 INTRODUCTION

Posiva Oy is responsible for the final disposal of the spent nuclear fuel produced in the nuclear power plants in Olkiluoto and Loviisa. To perform this task, the company is preparing for the construction of a disposal facility consisting of a repository for the waste at a depth of between 400 and 450 meters in the bedrock on the Olkiluoto site.

In July 2004 Posiva began to construct an underground rock characterization facility; ONKALO, including an access tunnel, vertical shafts, and rooms for research and demonstrations. The characterisation level at -420 was reached in summer of 2010. In 2012 excavation of ONKALO access tunnel was completed. The construction of ONKALO and subsequently the construction of the repository, will affect the surrounding rock mass and the groundwater flow system as well as the environment.

Investigations related to the characterization of Olkiluoto as a potential repository site and to the determination of a baseline of the site characteristics can be regarded as the predecessor of Posiva’s monitoring programmes. These activities started in about 1980 and continued with gradually increasing intensity and scope until 2004. The first monitoring programme was published in 2003 (Posiva 2003) and has been followed since 2004, the year when the construction of ONKALO commenced. The results of each discipline have since been reported annually. Foreign materials is one part of the monitoring system, others are rock mechanics, hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry and environment.

Posiva submitted in the end of 2012 an application for the construction license for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Construction is planned to start in few years and to continue until 2018, provided that the licensing process proceeds as planned. For the time before repository operation Posiva has updated the monitoring programme including starting the development of monitoring of engineered barriers (Posiva 2012a). The programme of monitoring is to be updated next by 2017 to correspond to the requirements of the operational phase.

Foreign materials monitoring covers the approval procedure for the materials used in the construction of ONKALO, bookkeeping of materials that end up in the underground facilities either deliberately or accidentally, and monitoring the effect of foreign materials on the ONKALO process water and groundwater. As to the monitoring of the engineered barriers, the period of this programme will be used for research, development, and testing of necessary equipment and methods.

The aim of this report is to give an overview of the progress of monitoring the foreign materials. This report presents the monitoring of foreign materials introduced into ONKALO since the start of construction in June 2004. Previous reports Juhola (2005), Vuorio (2006), Juhola (2007, 2008, 2009), Kasa (2011), Salo (2012, 2013) and Sacklén (2015) presented the earlier results and progress of the foreign materials monitoring. The current foreign materials monitoring schedule is presented in Table 1.

The underground parts of ONKALO consist of a system of exploratory tunnels accessed via a tunnel and three shafts named hereafter: an inlet air shaft 1, an exhaust air shaft 1 and a personnel shaft 1. It has been planned that in the future ONKALO will be part of the spent nuclear fuel repository (Posiva 2012b). At the end of 2012 ONKALO's access tunnel was completed. Demonstration tunnel 3 and demonstration tunnel 4 were excavated and vehicle access 131 was continued from chainage 4366-22 to chainage 4366-60 in 2013. Each tunnel chainage is one metre long. In 2013 the excavated volume was 4 102 m3. The total excavated volume of ONKALO tunnel was 317 605 m3. The progress of the ONKALO excavation access tunnel and shafts are presented in Figure 1.

The inlet air shaft 1 and the personnel shaft 1 were grouted down to the level -290. The vehicle access 13 was grouted at chainage 4366. The facilities were grouted with silica Meyco MP 320. Shotcreting were made in the access tunnel from chainage 4850 to chainage 4865, from chainage 4873 to chainage 4893, in the vehicle accesses 13 from chainage 4366-22 to chainage 4366-60, in the demonstration tunnel 3 from chainage 3.5

2 FOREIGN MATERIALS AND MATERIAL HANDBOOK

2.1 Foreign materials

Foreign materials, referred also as engineering or stray materials, are those that are neither part of the engineered barrier system (e.g. bentonite, copper canister) nor of the natural environment (rock material or groundwater). Some of the introduced foreign materials will be removed in different cleaning processes before backfilling, but some will necessarily remain in the future repository (Hjerpe 2003).

The amount of remaining foreign materials has been estimated in Hjerpe (2003). These estimations have been updated by Hagros (2007) and Karvonen (2011). The latest updated estimations are based on the repository layout produced in 2010 and consider the latest plans for grouting and rock support. Also amount of foreign materials used until 2010 have been taken into account. The most significant updates are the amount of materials used in grouting, shotcreting, support bolts and certain accessory minerals, organic materials of clay and construction materials.

Foreign materials remaining in ONKALO mostly consist of cement used for grouting and shotcreting to reinforcement the ceilings and the walls of the excavation (Vieno et al. 2003). The estimated amount of grouting and shotcrete cement introduced in ONKALO is about 11 442 tons (Karvonen 2011). Approximately 20 - 25% of pre-grouting materials are estimated to be removed during the excavation process. In this report the total amounts are reported, because the estimation of the removable amounts is inaccurate. According to present knowledge it is possible to remove shotcrete before backfilling.

Another potentially harmful group of foreign materials consists of hydrocarbons and nitrogen compounds from explosive residues and organic materials. Some of the organic materials are estimated to originate from the ventilation air. A great amount of impurities of ventilation air will be filtered (Posiva 2008). Other major sources of organic materials that will remain in ONKALO include cement additives, for example superplasticizers. Superplasticizers are used to improve the workability of shotcrete and grouting cement (Posiva 2003). Disadvantages of the use of foreign materials are discussed in Vuorio (2006) and in Juhola (2005).

As all the materials are not measurable, the amounts of these are based on estimations. These materials include rubber from tyres, exhaust fumes from diesel engines, hydraulic and lubricants oils, urine and other human waste. These amounts are not estimated here but are available in Karvonen (2011).

2.2 Material handbook

The material handbook is a collection of documents providing information of the materials approved to be used in ONKALO. It includes separate instructions for the use of each material, material safety data sheets (MSDS) and other relevant information. These materials have been divided into two safety levels A and B. Safety level A (the highest safety level) includes materials, which could have impact on long-term safety. Materials in safety level B have no detrimental influence on long-term safety according

Page 16: Results of Monitoring at Olkiluoto in 2013 Foreign Materials

to present knowledge. Safety level A includes cementitious materials and additives, organic compounds, inorganic nitrogen compounds and other inorganic compounds. Safety level B includes metals and other materials.

Material handbook is saved electronically in Posiva’s Kronodoc system and is so available when needed. Every worker in ONKALO is obliged to check that the material needed is included in the material handbook and in the list of allowed materials.

The instructions for introduction of a new material are found in the material handbook. A new material can be approved for the use in ONKALO, if it is not harmful for long-term safety and it has been evaluated to be suitable for ONKALO conditions. Its functionality for ONKALO conditions must have been tested. For a material in the safety level A the disadvantages of its use must be less than the possible disadvantages if it is not used.

The material handbook has been updated during 2013. Materials that are not in use any-more have been removed from the material handbook and some material safety data sheets have been updated. Also some special instructions have been checked and updated.

2.3 Allowed foreign materials

At the end of 2013 the material handbook listed 334 allowed materials, 230 in safety level A, 30 in safety level B and 64 in temporarily used materials. All the allowed materials at the end of 2013 are listed in Appendix 1 in Tables 1.1 to 1.4. Materials that are not in use anymore (e.g., allowed time for its use expired or a substituting material was found) have been removed from the material handbook.

In the Tables of Appendix 1 there are also the names of the manufacturers, in general products are named only by their trade names. Also the purpose of the use has been mentioned. Some materials could be allowed only for short period of time and these temporarily used materials have also been presented in Table 1.4 of Appendix 1. Some restrictions apply to the use of the allowed materials for example, materials can be used for the purpose they are accepted, i.e. motor oils can only be used in vehicles. In general permission to use the material is restricted in certain area that can be enlarged later if needed.

This procedure minimises the number of possible chemicals in ONKALO.

2.4 Forbidden foreign materials

No new materials were forbidden in 2013. At the end of 2013 there were 39 forbidden materials listed and these are presented in Appendix 2. The forbidden materials were not suitable for ONKALO conditions or may be harmful for long-term safety. Reasons for not allowing using some material may vary, for instance if a material contains more harmful components than a similarly functioning substitute, obviously the material containing fewer harmful components will be accepted. Sometimes a substitute material, which is better for the long-term safety, was found.

2.5 Quality control

As a part of ONKALO construction quality control, the use of foreign materials is controlled. In 2013 altogether four internal auditing was carried out in ONKALO area. There were undeclared materials and lack of operational safety maps in ONKALO. The undeclared materials were removed from ONKALO.

There were 7 oil leakages in ONKALO in 2013 and these have been handled as nonconformities. Oil leaks have been presented in Table 2. All the oil was adsorbed and collected away.

The acceptance limits for the use of foreign materials have been defined. These limits have been calculated from estimations by Karvonen (2011).

Migration of the dissolved foreign materials in groundwater was monitored at several locations. All water used in ONKALO was pumped up to the surface and led into sedimentation pool of ONKALO. Residue oil is removed from the water before it enters the sedimentation pool of ONKALO.

Pumped water in sedimentation pool of ONKALO contains drilling mud from ONKALO. The drilling mud is removed regularly to blasted rock dumping area. Despite of oil deflector, the drilling mud might contain some residue oil. This was studies in 2013 by taking samples at the sedimentation pool of ONKALO, outlet ditch and in the dumping area. Residue oil or VOC (volatile organic compounds) were not found over the limits in samples, but Posiva will continue studies.

The quality of the water in the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and at the end of the discharge tube has been monitored weekly through pH and electrical conductivity (EC) measurements as well as sodium fluorescein analyses. In addition, there is one sampling location along the outlet ditch after the end of the discharge tune, where field measurements of pH and EC are carried out. Results are reported in Chapter 4.

3 MATERIALS AND AMOUNT USED IN ONKALO

Karvonen (2011) has re-estimated the quantities of foreign materials remaining in the different part of ONKALO and the repository at the time of backfilling. These estimations per excavated cubic meter are included in Tables 4 and 6.

The categorization of the materials in this report complies with the one used in the material handbook stored in Posiva's Kronodoc system. The materials used in ONKALO during 2013 are reported in the following sections.

3.1 Safety level A

3.1.1 Cement, concrete and additives

The inlet air shaft 1, the personnel shaft 1 and the vehicle access 13 were grouted with silica Meyco MP320. Neither SR cement nor Cementa Ultrafin 16 (UF-16) was used in grouting this year. In Tables 3 and 4 can be seen amounts of grouting materials used in 2013. The amounts are given in Table 4 separately for access tunnel and shafts. The inlet air shaft 1 and the personnel shaft 1 were grouted down to the level -290. The vehicle access 13 was grouted at chainage 4366-22. In Figure 2 the graph is presented for used amounts per yearly quarter.

SR-cement and low pH-cement were used for grouting rock bolts (see Table 4). For construction materials SR-cement was used. These amounts are presented in Table 5.

3.1.2 Organic compounds

Some of the cement additives can also be organic compounds but these have been classified to the same group with cement.

Geological measurement points were marked in ONKALO with AT-marking paint. In 2013 11.4 L paint was used, the total amount used during construction is 1 435 L.

Different kinds of organics oils, such as lubricants, anti-freeze solutions and fuel were used in the vehicles in ONKALO. The amounts of fuel oil and diesel oil used in ONKALO in 2013 are 57 064 L and 55 322 L, respectively.

3.1.3 Nitrogen compounds

Nitrogen compounds are mainly from explosives. Explosives manufactured by Oy Forcit Ab were used in the ONKALO tunnel excavations. Mainly bulk-emulsion explosives were used in ONKALO. These bulk-emulsion explosives included Kemiitti 810 as matrix and fumigant. Depending on the recipe, also acetic acid could be used. Acetic acid is a catalyst of blasting and without it the fumigation of blasting could be incomplete if the temperature in ONKALO is too low. Since 2012 the temperature in ONKALO was high enough that acetic acid was not used.

Amount of all used explosives are presented in Table 6. Although acetic acid is an organic compound it is also presented in this group. A summary of the explosives used in tunnel in 2013 is provided in Figures 3 and 4. The amount of explosives per yearly quarter is given in graphical form.

Studies of the nitrogen compounds from explosive residues have started in 2012. The preliminary results are reported in the Posiva’s internal report. Studies will be continued to conform the results.

3.1.4 Other inorganic compounds

Coordinate measured support bolts have been paint earlier with Falu red ochre paint, but the paint was changed in year 2008. Since that these marks have been painted with AT-marking paint.

3.2 Safety level B

3.2.1 Metals

Support bolts were used for rock reinforcement. Support bolts have been made of stainless steel. Krampe Harex fibres were used with shotcreting. Used amount of metal components are reported in Table 7. Since 2012 steel grades for construction engineering in ONKALO have been reported. These are also presented in the Table 7. No stud bolts, wedge anchors or brass sleeves were installed in ONKALO in 2013.

3.2.2 Other materials

Sodium fluorescein has been used as a tracer for the drilling water i.e. process water. Measurements results for the concentration of sodium fluorescein are reported in Chapter 4. Used amount of it hasn’t been reported because almost all of it is sluiced away.

Maxam clay has been used in charging the rock with bulk-emulsion explosives as a plug. Plugging the charges with clay decreases the amount of dud explosives and explosives needed in blasting.

In 2013, construction materials for construction engineering used in ONKALO have presented in the Table 8.

Ikasorb 1030 is an absorbent and has been used after oil leak if needed. Used Ikasorb 1030 has been removed from ONKALO and amount of use were not reported.

4 MONITORING OF ONKALO CONSTRUCTION

4.1 ONKALO process waters

All process waters used in ONKALO are pumped from the Korvensuo reservoir. A tracer, sodium fluorescein is added in the water in order to enable identification of the remaining amount of process water in real groundwater samples. The concentration of sodium fluorescein used in process waters is 250 μg/L.

The concentration of sodium fluorescein is controlled by regular sampling of process water. In 2013, samples of process water were collected once a week according to Posiva's working instructions. The results of the analyses are presented in Figure 5. Sodium fluorescein concentration in process water has mainly varied between the values of 200 and 250 μg/L. The sodium fluorescein concentration variations in process water were small except one measurement in January when technical problems occured.

Samples from the main solution were taken after sodium fluorescein had been added in the main solution container. The analysis process of the main solution will remain unchanged and process water samples will be taken once a week.

4.2 Sedimentation pool of ONKALO and discharge tube

All waters used during the excavation of ONKALO are pumped up to the surface into a sedimentation pool of ONKALO after the removal of residual oil from the water. From the sedimentation pool of ONKALO the water flows through an outlet pipe to the outlet ditch. The locations of the sedimentation pool of ONKALO, the discharge tube (outlet pipe), the outlet ditch and the measuring point 1 are presented in Figure 6. Since 2012 the measuring points have been reduced from four to one. In addition to the one measuring point along the ditch, samples have also been taken at the end of the discharge tube. The distance from the discharge tube to the measuring point (measuring point 1) is approximately 5 m.

Figure 6. The location of the sedimentation pool of ONKALO, the outlet pipe and the measuring point 1 in the outlet ditch. The end of the discharge tube is five meters south of the measuring point.

Page 31: Results of Monitoring at Olkiluoto in 2013 Foreign Materials

The quality of the water in the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and in the discharge tube has been monitored weekly through pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) measurements as well as sodium fluorescein analyses. In addition, water samples (Class A water samples) have been collected four times a year from the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and five times a year from the end of the discharge tube according to instructions given in Lamminmäki et al. 2009.

The chemical results for the sedimentation pool of ONKALO are shown in Table 9 and for the end of the discharge tube in Table 10. The higher SiO2 concentrations are due to the excavation work. In 2013, the sampling program stayed the same as in 2012.

The results of field pH measurements for all sampling points are presented in Figure 7. The pH of the water pumped out was slightly alkaline in both the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and in the outlet ditch. The pH of the water was nearly neutral in the measuring point 1. According to Figure 7 that highest pH values were measured at the end of the discharge tube. The pH of the water primarily fluctuated between the values of 7.5 and 8.5. The pH of the water is lower than last year 2012 (Sacklén 2015).

The shotcreting in the ONKALO tunnel in 2013 were made from middle of February to end of October. The amount of used cement was significantly less than in 2012. So far the high pH values have not constituted a risk to the environment, because high pH values are neutralized soon after the water reaches the ditch.

The EC values of water samples taken from the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and from the end of the discharge tube behave in a similar way as illustrated in Figure 8. In general the EC results varied between the values of 240 and 400 mS/m, with a few values under and over these values (min 139 mS/m, max 420 mS/m).

The influence of grouting cement and shotcrete can be seen in the results of pH and some indication of electric conductivity in the sedimentation pool of ONKALO. The low pH values are the result of use of grouting and shotcrete cement have reduced in ONKALO.

Groundwater hydrogeochemistry analyses results from ONKALO in 2013 have not been reported by the time of printing of this report. The chemistry of groundwater in ONKALO has been compared with the chemistry in sedimentation pool of ONKALO. The baseline conditions have been reported in Andersson et al. 2007.

In NO2, NO3 and N-tot concentrations the influence of blasting can be seen in the sedimentation pool of ONKALO. In the baseline conditions recorded for the groundwater in ONKALO the NO2, NO3 and N-tot concentrations were very low (under 1 mg/L,) (Andersson et al. 2007). The NO2, NO3 and N-tot concentrations in sedimentation pool of ONKALO have been presented in Figure 9. The lower NO2, NO3 and N-tot concentrations due to the excavation work has reduced and thereby amount of used explosives have decreased compared to 2012.

Figure 9. NO3, NO2 and N-tot concentrations in sedimentation pool of ONKALO in 2013.

The amount of groundwater from the ONKALO tunnel still plays a minor role in the total amount of water pumped out, because the process waters mix with groundwater. The amount of leaking groundwater in ONKALO is reported in monitoring report of hydrology and hydrogeology (Vaittinen et al. 2014).

Figure 5 shows the sodium fluorescein results for the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and for the end of the discharge tube. Sodium fluorescein decomposes under the influence of UV light. Therefore the sodium fluorescein concentrations in the summertime are slightly smaller than the concentrations in the winter. In 2013, sodium fluorescein concentrations for the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and for the end of the discharge tube were lower than in 2012.

5 SUMMARY

Foreign materials monitoring in ONKALO covers the approval procedure for the materials used in the construction of ONKALO, bookkeeping of materials that end up in the underground facilities either deliberately or accidentally, and monitoring the effect of foreign materials on the ONKALO process water and groundwater.

For the time before repository operation 2012 - 2018 Posiva has updated the monitoring programme (Posiva 2012a). The way of listing and counting foreign materials in different groups has remained the same from 2012.

The most common foreign material introduced in ONKALO is cement and its additives. SR-cement was used for shotcreting, for soldering bolts to rock and in construction materials. The amount of used SR-cement was significantly less than in 2012. No grouting with SR-cement was made in 2013. The inlet air shaft 1 and the personnel shaft 1 down to the level -290 and the vehicle access 13 at chainage 4366 were grouted with silica Meyco MP 320. The acceptance limits for the use of foreign materials have not been exceeded from the perspective of functions critical to long-term safety.

Migration of the dissolved foreign materials in groundwater was monitored by taking water samples from the sedimentation pool of ONKALO, at the end of the discharge tube and from one separate measuring location along the outlet ditch. All the water used in ONKALO is pumped to the surface and collected in the sedimentation pool of ONKALO after removal of residual oil. As expected the highest pH values were measured in the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and at the end of the discharge tube. The pH of the water primarily fluctuated between the values of 7.5 and 8.5. The range of pH was lower than in 2012. This is due to the fact that the amount of used SR-cement has reduced in ONKALO.

Some increases were noted in the electric conductivity values in water samples when shotcreting took place in ONKALO. In general the EC results varied between values of 240 and 400 mS/m, thus making the range of EC slightly wider than in 2012.

The migration of dissolved reaction products of blasting materials can be seen in sedimentation pool of ONKALO when measured values of NO2, NO3 and N-tot concentrations are compared with the ones measured during the baseline determinations (< 1 mg/L). The NO2, NO3 and N-tot concentrations were lower compared to 2012. This is due to the fact that excavation work has reduced and thereby amount of used explosives have decreased.

Sodium fluorescein was added as a tracer so that its' concentration in the process water was 250 g/L. Sodium fluorescein concentration in the outlet water has generally been less than 40 g/L in the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and generally varied between 1 and 25 g/L at the end of the discharge tube, excluding a few outliers. Sodium fluorescein concentrations for the sedimentation pool of ONKALO and for the end of the discharge tube were lower than in 2012.
