Abstract
Safety and environmental issuses are key factors in present efforts for determination of nuclear waste repository site in Republic of Slovenia. The soil in the vicinity of the repository site can become contaminated also through transport of moist in soil therefore the knowledge and application of complementary experimental methods of contamination detection is of paramount importance. In the proposed project the level and influence of contamination of moist soil is studied measuring the frequency dependent dielectric properties. The measurements will be carried out on standard kaolinit test samples by comparison of laboratory stored samples, the ones placed in the vicinity of the temporary repository site in Brinje and the samples irradiated in nuclear reactor Triga in order to calibrate the experimental method. Based on this comparison the key parameters of the dielectric response that define the level of contamination will be determined. The in situ measurements of the soil samples from the vicinity of the disposal site will be compared to the developed model of the dielectric response based on anomalous diffusion of particles, and to the numerical simulations of particle transport through moist porous matter.
