[0002] High-level radioactive waste has the characteristics of high radioactivity, long half-life and high toxicity, making it extremely difficult to dispose of it safely. The internationally recognized safe disposal method is deep geological disposal.
[0003] The safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste is one of the important issues in the current field of nuclear energy utilization. As a solution for the long-term safe storage of high-level radioactive waste, geological disposal repositories require at least 20 years from site selection to final site determination, provided that the technology is mature and funding is sufficient. Geological surveys during the site selection process are crucial.
[0004] Granite is a suitable surrounding rock for high-level radioactive waste disposal repositories because of its small porosity (fresh rock), poor permeability, easy maintenance of a chemically closed system, and good stability.
[0005] The surrounding rock for storing high-level radioactive waste needs to have simple geological structure, large rock mass extension, single lithology, few cracks and should be widely filled with secondary minerals. However, the area of the pre-selected site is often hundreds of square kilometers, and the structure of the granite body is complex, such as intrusion contact and interlacing of veins. Faults, fracture zones and other structures are often hidden in the deep granite body and have the characteristics of non-uniformity and non-continuity, which cannot be directly observed from the surface; the cost of obtaining core samples or conducting geophysical exploration through drilling is high, and the coverage is limited, resulting in limited data collection, and it is impossible to fully and accurately identify the geological characteristics of the site, and it is often difficult to screen candidate sites for disposal repositories.

[0033] S7: Based on the rock mass geological model, select rock blocks with optimal geological conditions in the granite mass as candidate sites for radioactive waste disposal.
[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, S1 may be replaced by the following steps.
[0035] S11: Analyze the geological and seismic characteristics of the pre-selected area based on regional geological structure, neotectonic movement, seismic structure and seismic activity data; the pre-selected area is the area within the first set range of the study area extrapolated.
[0036] Furthermore, the geological and seismic characteristics of the pre-selected area (extrapolated to a range of no less than 150km) are analyzed based on the regional geological structure, neotectonic movement, seismic structure, and seismic activity data.
[0037] In S11, the main workflow of the regional geological and seismic characteristics analysis of the pre-selected area is as follows:
[0038] A. Collect and organize regional geological, seismic and geophysical data and research results, and compile regional tectonic zoning maps, regional neotectonic maps, regional seismic tectonic maps, etc., with a scale of no less than 1:1000000.
[0039] B. Collect and compile a catalog of regional destructive earthquakes, analyze the distribution characteristics of seismic activity in space, time and intensity, the focal mechanism and characteristics of modern tectonic stress fields, the impact intensity of historical earthquakes on the project site, and evaluate the seismic activity trends and seismic environment in the area and surrounding areas.
[0040] C. Evaluate the activity of major faults in the region, including fault properties, distribution characteristics, the latest active era, and the relationship between major fault activity and seismic activity. Among them, major faults usually refer to faults with significant scale and activity in the region, which are usually recorded in the collected regional geological data; the location, geometric structure and distribution of faults can be determined through high-resolution remote sensing interpretation, geological and geomorphological surveys, seismic exploration, drilling or trenching, chronological sample collection and testing, etc., and the activity of faults can be preliminarily identified.
[0041] In S11, step A provides basic data and macro-framework for steps B and C. Based on step A, step B provides specific characteristics and trends of seismic activity for step C through seismic activity analysis. Step C is a deepening and refinement of steps A and B, focusing on the activity evaluation of major faults, providing more accurate geological and seismological basis for earthquake hazard assessment.
[0042] S12: Based on the geological and seismic characteristics, a fault activity survey and seismogenic structure evaluation are conducted in the vicinity of the preselected area to determine a quantitative risk assessment result of seismic safety; the vicinity of the preselected area is the area range of the study area extrapolated from the second set range.
[0043] Conduct fault activity survey and seismic structure evaluation in the vicinity of pre-selected areas (extrapolated range of no less than 25km).
[0044] In S12, the main workflow of the near-region fault activity investigation and seismogenic structure evaluation is as follows:
[0045] A. Prepare a near-field seismic structure map and an earthquake epicenter distribution map with a scale of no less than 1:250,000.
[0046] B. Catalog of earthquakes in the near field, analysis of seismic activity, including the intensity and frequency of seismic activity, spatial distribution characteristics of seismic activity density, and distribution characteristics of focal depth.
[0047] C. Conduct detailed geological and geomorphological surveys, trenching, fault fragmentation ESR dating, etc. on the main faults in the near-field area to determine the location, scale, occurrence, latest activity period and fault activity characteristics of the faults.
[0048] D. Through earthquake hazard analysis using the seismic tectonic method, the maximum historical earthquake method and the comprehensive probability method, determine the high value of the peak seismic acceleration SL-2 at the surface and 500m underground in the pre-selected area, and estimate the earthquake intensity under the average site conditions (Class II medium hard site) with a 50-year exceedance probability of 10%.
[0049] In S12, step A provides the basic geographical and structural background for the subsequent steps; step B conducts seismic activity analysis based on the maps of step A to provide data support for step C; step C is an in-depth analysis of the seismic activity analysis of step B, focusing on the activity evaluation of major faults; step D combines the results of steps A, B, and C to conduct a quantitative analysis of seismic hazards and provide a final quantitative risk assessment for seismic safety evaluation. These four steps are interdependent and gradually deepened, together forming a complete process for the investigation of near-regional fault activity and the evaluation of seismogenic structures.
[0050] S13: Based on the quantitative risk assessment result, the fault activity and active fault evaluation are performed on the area near the preselected section to determine the fault activity evaluation result; the area near the preselected section is the section range of the study area extrapolated from the third set range; the first set range>the second set range>the third set range.
[0051] Furthermore, a survey of fault activity and evaluation of active faults will be carried out near the pre-selected areas (extrapolated within a range of 5km).
[0052] In S13, the main workflow of the investigation of fault activity and evaluation of active faults near the pre-selected area is as follows:
[0053] A. Obtain geological and geomorphological evidence of the latest activity age and nature of the fault through natural sections or trench sections near the pre-selected area, and determine the fault plane of the last activity.
[0054] B. Collect dating samples of materials formed during the last activity inside the fault, and collect samples from the bottom of the Quaternary strata overlying the fault as much as possible. Try to collect age-dating samples using two different methods near each observation point and send them to the chronology laboratory for chronology testing.
[0055] C. Through the observation and analysis of the geological structure development characteristics revealed by the field outcrops and exploration trenches of the fault and its geological and geomorphological features, combined with the chronological test results of the age samples, a comprehensive assessment is made as to whether the investigation object is an active fault.
[0056] S14: Based on the geological and seismic characteristics, the quantitative risk assessment results and the fault activity evaluation results, a preliminary evaluation is conducted on the potential geological hazards caused by earthquakes in the study area to determine the preliminary evaluation results.
[0057] Furthermore, a preliminary assessment is made of the potential geological hazards caused by earthquakes in the area.
[0058] Combined with geotechnical engineering investigation data, the earthquake geological hazards in the area, including landslides, collapses, subsidence and earthquake liquefaction, are evaluated.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, S2 may be replaced by the following steps.
[0060] S21: When the preliminary evaluation result confirms that subversive factors have been excluded, the remote sensing data is processed, the geological elements are identified, and the processed remote sensing image is determined.
[0061] Furthermore, remote sensing data processing uses ArcGIS and MapGIS software as a platform to pre-process the remote sensing data through radiation processing, geometric correction, digital mosaicking, geocoding, etc., and enhance the remote sensing images to facilitate the distinction and identification of geological elements.
[0062] The main workflow of remote sensing data processing is as follows:
[0063] A. Purchase QuickBird remote sensing data (1:25,000 remote sensing images) from Digitalglobe, USA, with a range of 5 km extending from the rock mass boundary. The spatial resolution of QuickBird panchromatic band is 0.61m, and the spatial resolution of multispectral data is 2.44m. Also collect topographic data and geological information of the study area as auxiliary information for remote sensing interpretation.
[0064] B. Remote sensing data preprocessing, through radiation correction, atmospheric correction, geometric correction, image cropping, image mosaicking and color uniformity, geocoding, etc., complete data preprocessing to facilitate geological interpretation.
[0065] C. Image enhancement processing, mainly through histogram equalization, convolution enhancement, decorrelation stretching, false color synthesis, and resolution fusion processing, improves the visual effect of the image and enhances the recognizability of geological features.
[0066] D. After drawing the map frame, grid lines, coordinate annotations, scale, map name and other finishing elements in sequence, use high-precision printer to output them into high-quality images with continuous, clear and saturated colors on photographic paper for use in project interpretation.
[0067] S22: performing lithology and structural interpretation on the processed remote sensing image to determine a remote sensing geological interpretation map, and determining surface information of surrounding rock fractures and lithology based on the remote sensing geological interpretation map.
[0068] Furthermore, lithology and structure interpretation, with separable image markers characterized by specific color combinations or image structures and structures, delineates different stratigraphic and lithological units in the study area, and determines structural features such as faults and shear zones based on the extension, direction, scale, dislocation and other characteristics of linear image units.
[0069] The processing flow of lithology and structural interpretation is as follows:
[0070] A. Structural interpretation. Linear image units are standard image modes for faults and ductile shear zones. Characteristics of fault images and topography: linear images, straight valleys, sudden landform changes, showing a sudden change from a relatively flat landform to a low mountain landform. The interpretation work mainly determines the existence of structural features such as faults and shear zones based on the extension, direction, scale, dislocation and other characteristics of the linear image unit. The levels and periods are mainly divided according to the scale of the linear images and the interlaced composite relationship between them.
[0071] B. Stratigraphic interpretation. The stratigraphic image unit is mainly interpreted based on the color and texture information of the layered distribution, and its attribute is stratigraphic type. The stratigraphic rock is interpreted mainly through the color difference characteristics, combined with the characteristics of shadow patterns, water systems, landforms, etc.
[0072] C. Interpretation of intrusive rocks. Non-stratified image units are mainly divided based on topography, morphology and color information as interpretation and discrimination marks. This type of unit mainly represents granite intrusions. Granites are mostly round, lens-shaped, vein-shaped and irregular in shape, with obvious contact boundaries with surrounding rocks and mostly light in color. Different colors reflect the different types of intrusive rock bodies, while morphological characteristics reflect the occurrence and degree of erosion of intrusive rock bodies. The dykes are mainly linear and curved arc-shaped shadow patterns with a sense of convexity. They intersect with each other in some areas. Different types of dykes are mainly distinguished by color.
[0073] D. Verification of interpretation results. Remote sensing interpretation basically reflects the distribution of strata, rock masses, and vein rocks in the study area, outlines most geological boundaries, and predicts the existence of possible faults. Combined with subsequent special geological surveys, geological bodies and structural lines are mapped, the interpretation results are verified and validated, and the remote sensing interpretation results are corrected.
[0074] S23: Based on the surface information of surrounding rock fractures and lithology, the rock mass is divided into a number of rock blocks with the fractures on the remote sensing geological interpretation map as the boundary, and the rock blocks with an area larger than a set area and a single lithology in the rock mass are selected as preliminary rock blocks.
[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, S3 may be replaced by the following steps.
[0076] S31: Conducting internal investigation and analysis on the preliminarily selected rock blocks to determine the internal geological information of the preliminarily selected rock blocks; the internal geological information includes lithology distribution, age, alteration and joint distribution.
[0077] Furthermore, the internal investigation of the preliminary selected rock blocks adopts positive measurement, sampling analysis and joint investigation to find out the geological information such as lithology distribution, age, alteration and joint distribution law in the preliminary selected rock blocks. The survey route is generally arranged in a "well" shape inside the rock block, and the profile is systematically measured and made. The route direction is as perpendicular to the rock block boundary as possible.
[0078] In S31, the main workflow of the internal investigation of the primary rock block is as follows:
[0079] A. Measure and prepare the main section of intrusive rocks at a ratio of 1:5000. The section should be selected in the area where various geological bodies are exposed relatively completely in the homologous magmatic sequence, the outcrops are basically continuous, the internal structural lines of the vertical deep-seated rock bodies are basically clear in the upper and lower relationships, and the structure is simple; divide the intrusive bodies, determine the mutual relationship, emplacement sequence, intrusion age and evolutionary relationship between the intrusive bodies, and study the emplacement mechanism; the intrusive bodies of the homologous magmatic evolutionary series can be further merged into units and superunits.
[0080] B. Guided by remote sensing interpretation signs, the route geological survey is mainly based on the main route crossing, supplemented by the tracing route, systematically surveying and making profiles, defining the mapping units, establishing the regional structural framework, and identifying the lithological and structural characteristics of the primary rock blocks. The route spacing is controlled at 500-1000m, and the point spacing is generally 300-500m. Rock specimens, optical thin section identification specimens, rock spectra, age isotopes, stable isotopes, workers' heavy sand and other samples are systematically collected for analysis and testing.
[0081] C. Surface fissure survey. Select about 2km in each primary rock block. 2 Conduct a surface fissure survey on a wide range, systematically record information including fissure number, location, direction, dip, length, width, depth, shape and filling material, and analyze the distribution pattern of the surface structural surface of the site.
[0082] S32: Investigate and analyze the boundaries of the preliminarily selected rock blocks to determine the boundary geological information of the preliminarily selected rock blocks; the boundary geological information includes the geological characteristics of fault zone sand fragments, breccia, granular rock, and pulverized rock, as well as various alteration phenomena.
[0083] Further, the boundary investigation of the preliminary selected rock blocks: the rock block boundaries can be divided into two categories: fractures and rock mass boundaries, with the former being the main type. Mainly through trenching and sampling analysis, the occurrence and detailed fracture characteristics of the rock block boundary fractures are determined. There should be 2 to 3 exploration trenches for each fracture that controls the rock block boundary. If the fracture between two adjacent rock blocks does not exist, the two rock blocks should be merged into one rock block and investigated according to the requirements of the preliminary selected rock blocks.
[0084] In the step S32, the main workflow of the preliminary rock block boundary investigation is as follows:
[0085] A. Trench layout. Combined with the results of remote sensing geological interpretation, conduct field surveys, observe topographical signs, and find fault evidence such as siliceous breccia, broken zones, crushed granular rock and crushed powder rock, polished surface, steps and alteration to prove the existence of faults. On the premise of preliminarily confirming the existence of faults, arrange the trenches in saddles with low coverage and narrow mountain valleys.
[0086] B. Trench construction. The construction depth is generally 1.5 to 2.5 m, and the detection width is generally 1.0 to 1.2 m. The trench wall is straight and free of loose soil, and the geological characteristics of bedrock, fault zone sand fragments, breccia, granular rock and crushed powder rock and various alteration phenomena can be clearly observed, achieving the purpose of exposing the fault zone and determining the fault occurrence.
[0087] C. Trench geological cataloging. Carefully observe and analyze the geological characteristics and various alteration phenomena of sand fragments, breccia, crushed rock, and crushed powder rock in the fault zone, and obtain as much geological information as possible. On this basis, perform stratification, measure the occurrence, and make detailed records and trench sketches.
[0088] S33: Investigate and analyze the periphery of the preliminary selected rock block to determine the peripheral geological information of the preliminary selected rock block; the peripheral geological information includes strata, rock mass and structure; the two-dimensional geological characteristics of the preliminary selected rock block include the internal geological information, the boundary geological information and the peripheral geological information.
[0089] The peripheral survey of the preliminarily selected rock blocks adopts a combination of simple survey and rough survey. The route geological survey is mainly based on the systematic route crossing, and the geological profile is selected in the structurally developed section to basically find out the geological information such as strata, rock mass, structure, etc.
[0090] In S33, the main workflow of the peripheral survey of the primary rock block is as follows:
[0091] A. Carry out simple geological survey and rough survey. The route spacing in the simple survey area is generally controlled at 700-1500m (i.e. the geological point density is 70% of the actual survey area), and the route spacing in the rough survey area is generally controlled at 1000-2000m (i.e. the geological point density is 50% of the actual survey area).
[0092] B. Geological route control must be utilized for the main regional tectonic belts and geological bodies. The degree of route control should be based on the principle of being able to accurately outline the geological structural form.
[0093] C. All fault structures within the area should be controlled by geological observation points and exploration trenches. Each fault should be controlled by at least three observation points, and faults without good outcrops should be controlled by at least one exploration trench.
[0094] S34: Determine the genesis and mineralization prospects of the rock mass based on the internal geological information, the boundary geological information and the peripheral geological information, and compile a geological map of the study area.
[0095] Furthermore, based on the research results of S31, S32, and S33, combined with mineral thin sections, geochemical test analysis, and isotope dating, the origin and mineralization prospects of the rock mass were preliminarily identified, and a 1:50,000 geological map of the study area was compiled.
[0096] S35: Generate the lithology and fracture surface distribution range of the entire granite body according to the geological map.
[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, S4 may be replaced by the following steps.
[0098] S41: Conduct ground magnetic surveying and scanning on the preselected area to determine the magnetic homogeneity information and magnetic anomaly zone information in the rock mass.
[0099] Furthermore, high-precision ground magnetic survey and scanning work was carried out in the pre-selected areas. On the one hand, the magnetic homogeneity information in the rock mass was roughly understood, and on the other hand, the audio magnetotelluric (AMT) project was arranged in a targeted manner for the magnetic anomaly belt information found in the magnetic survey and scanning.
[0100] S42: Based on the magnetic uniformity information of the rock mass and the magnetic anomaly zone information, AMT detection is performed on the pre-selected area, and the deep buried information of the internal structure of the rock mass is controlled in terms of area in the form of parallel sections to determine the distribution characteristics of the broken zone.
[0101] Furthermore, AMT detection is carried out on pre-selected areas to control the buried depth information of major structures in the rock mass in terms of area in the form of parallel sections, focusing on the distribution characteristics of the broken zone, especially its scale characteristics.
[0102] In the step S42, the main workflow of carrying out AMT detection on the pre-selected area is as follows:
[0103] A. Arrange 3 AMT sections to control the distribution of fault structures and deep morphological characteristics of rock mass in the pre-selected section. Among them, the AMTAA' section coincides with the measured geological section in the special geological lateral and is perpendicular to the rock mass and the main structural trend in the section. The AMTBB' section is parallel to the AMTAA' section, and the AMTCC' section is perpendicular to the AMTAA' section and the AMTBB' section.
[0104] B. Data Collection. AMT data collection uses a tensor observation method with a 4-component (Hx, Hy, Ex, Ey) acquisition station plus two 2-component (Ex, Ey) acquisition stations, using a regular 2D tensor observation device, and a single-point observation time of no less than 25 minutes.
[0105] C. Data processing and interpretation. The processing and interpretation of AMT data is mainly divided into four steps: data preprocessing, qualitative data analysis, data inversion and geological interpretation. Finally, the geoelectric section and geological interpretation results of each measurement section are obtained, such as Figure 2 shown.
[0106] S43: Based on the distribution characteristics of the fracture zone, shallow seismic detection is carried out in key areas inside the rock mass, and magnetotelluric (MT) detection is used to detect the contact morphology of the outer boundary of the rock mass and the structural distribution characteristics within the distance range from the outer boundary of the rock mass, so as to determine the distribution characteristics of rock mass fractures and the morphological and scale characteristics of the rock mass.
[0107] Furthermore, S43 conducts shallow seismic detection work in key areas within the rock mass that require further understanding by integrating the results of high-precision ground magnetic surveys with AMT detection results.
[0108] S44 uses MT detection as a technical means to detect the contact morphology of the outer boundary of the rock body and the distribution characteristics of its surrounding structures.
[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, S5 may be replaced by the following steps.
[0110] S51: Selecting a section of the preliminarily selected rock block with a single lithology and an open and flat surface for drilling survey to determine the deep characteristics of the fault.
[0111] S52: Based on the boreholes and cores used in borehole exploration, core geological logging, geophysical multi-parameter logging and borehole television measurement are used to determine the deep integrity of the rock block and the deep lithology distribution characteristics of the rock block.
[0112] Furthermore, after S51, it also includes:
[0113] According to the deep characteristics of the fault, it is judged whether the scale and integrity of the deep granite in the currently selected area meet the requirements of the radioactive waste disposal repository. Furthermore, two relatively simple rock blocks with large areas are selected from the preliminary rock blocks, avoiding linear structures, and constructing a vertical hole of about 600m in each relatively open and flat area on the surface to determine whether the scale and integrity of the deep granite at the site meet the requirements of the disposal repository.
[0114] If the requirements of the radioactive waste disposal repository are met, holes will be drilled in the fractures of the rock mass to analyze the spatial distribution of shallow and deep structures and detailed rock mass characteristics. In the next step, according to the requirements, a batch of 100 and 600m boreholes will be constructed in the main fractures of the rock mass to study the spatial distribution of shallow and deep structures and detailed characteristics of the site.
[0115] Further, S52 can be replaced by the following steps.
[0116] S521: Based on the boreholes and cores used in the drilling survey, core geological logging is carried out. By observing the surface and interior of the core with the naked eye or a magnifying glass, a subjective understanding of the underground geological body is formed to determine the results of the core geological logging; the core geological logging includes the identification of minerals, lithology, joints and faults, the definition of geological boundaries, and the determination of the era of geological activity.
[0117] S522: Based on the core geological logging results, use a logging instrument to perform multi-parameter measurements on the borehole to determine measurement results; the measurement results include resistivity, density, natural gamma, sonic waves, well temperature, well diameter, etc.
[0118] S523: Using the borehole television as a tool, the geological information on the surface of the borehole wall is obtained. The geological information has directionality, and the so-called directionality means that it has both dip information and inclination information.
[0119] S524: Extracting the deep lithology distribution characteristics of the rock block and determining the deep integrity of the rock block based on the core geological logging results, measurement results and geological information on the borehole wall surface.
[0120] Comprehensive analysis of core geological logging, geophysical multi-parameter logging, and borehole television measurement are three different means of obtaining deep geological information, which can comprehensively and effectively extract deep geological information and evaluate the integrity of the deep geological environment of the site.
[0121] In an exemplary embodiment, S6 may be replaced by the following steps.
