    北山裂隙带F34-1封闭性的地质学、矿物学和地球化学关键证据及其对高放废物处置的意义

    Key geological, mineralogical and geochemical closure evidence for the closure of F34-1 fracture zone in Beishan and its implications for high-level radioactive waste disposal

    • 摘要: 我国高放废物地质处置北山地下实验室的主体工程建设取得了显著进展,裂隙带F34-1在螺旋斜坡道中被完全揭露。本研究通过现场地质调查与室内分析测试手段,系统研究了该裂隙带的地质学、矿物学和地球化学特征,评价其封闭性及对高放废物地质处置的意义。现场地质调查结果表明,F34-1呈北北东走向,倾向为115°,倾角约85°,宽度随深度增加逐渐减小,几何形态自上而下呈尖灭趋势。随深度增加,裂隙带发育程度减弱,渗水流量快速衰减,表明其与区域地下水系统水力连通性极低。裂隙带的充填矿物组成以方解石、石英和粘土矿物为主,浅部以粘土矿物为主,深部以方解石和石英增多。地球化学特征显示填隙物富硅铝、低铁钙,以硅质和粘土成分为主,对核素具有较强的阻滞和吸附能力。微量元素分析指示深部裂隙曾经历热液蚀变和矿物沉淀作用,进一步降低渗透性、限制核素迁移。同位素测年结果显示填隙物形成于257 Ma左右,与围岩成岩年龄一致,表明裂隙未受后期扰动,处于封闭状态。综上,F34-1裂隙带具有良好的封闭性、稳定性和核素迁移阻断能力,为北山实验室场址近场屏障性能提供了关键依据,对高放废物地质处置库的选址与安全评价具有重要科学意义。

       

      Abstract: The construction of China’s underground laboratory for high-level radioactive waste disposal has revealed the F34-1 fracture zone within the spiral ramp, providing a unique opportunity to assess its barrier properties. This study combines field geological surveys with mineralogical and geochemical analyses to characterize the fracture zone and evaluate its sealing capacity. F34-1 strikes NNE (dip direction 115°, dip angle ~85°) and narrows with depth, exhibiting wedge-out geometry. Groundwater inflow decreases sharply downward, indicating negligible hydraulic connectivity with the regional system. Fracture infill is composed mainly of calcite, quartz, and clay minerals, with clays dominating shallow sections and calcite–quartz assemblages prevailing at depth. Geochemical results show Si–Al enrichment and low Fe–Ca contents, reflecting strong sorption and retardation potential for radionuclides. Trace element signatures indicate hydrothermal alteration and mineral precipitation in deeper zones, further reducing permeability. Isotopic dating (~257 Ma) suggests formation contemporaneous with host rock diagenesis, confirming long-term stability. These findings demonstrate that F34-1 possesses excellent sealing capacity and radionuclide retardation ability, providing key evidence for near-field barrier performance at the Beishan Underground Laboratory.
