The safety assessment of disposal of spent nuclear fuel will include an estimate on the
behavior of nuclear waste nuclides in the biosphere. As a part of this estimate also the
transfer of nuclear waste nuclides in the soil and sediments is to be considered. In this
study soil samples were collected from three excavator pits in Olkiluoto and the
geotechnical and chemical characteristics of the samples were determined. In later stage
these results will be used in sorption tests. Aim of these tests is to determine the Kd-
values for Cs, Tc and I and later for Mo, Nb and Cl. Results of these sorption tests will
be reported later.
The geotechnical characteristics studied included dry weight and organic matter content
as well as grain size distribution and mineralogy analyses. Selective extractions were
carried out to study the sorption of cations into different mineral types. The extractions
included five steps in which the cations bound to exchangeable, carbonate, oxides of Fe
and Mn, organic matter and residual fractions were determined. For all fractions ICP-
MS analyses were carried out. In these analyses Li, Na, Mg, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni,
Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Mo, Cd, Cs and Pb were determined. In addition six profiles were
taken from the surroundings of two excavator pits for the 137Cs determination. Besides
the samples taken for the characterization of soil, supplement samples were taken from
the same layers for the separation of soil water. From the soil water pH, DOC, anions
(F, Cl, N0 3 , S04) and cations (Na, Mg, K, Ca, AI, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, S, Cd,
Cs, Pb, U) were determined.

1 INTRODUCTION
The disposal of spent fuel from the Finnish nuclear power reactors at Olkiluoto,
Eurajoki and Hastholmen, Loviisa is planned to take place in a repository to be
constructed in Olkiluoto bedrock. The safety assessment will include an estimate on the
behavior of nuclear waste nuclides in the biosphere. As a part of this estimation the
migration and sorption of radionuclides in soils is to be considered. A research
programme was established in 2008 to investigate the migration of the long lived
radionuclides originating from the spent nuclear fuel in soil. For this study also the
characterization of soil and soil water is needed. The results of the characterization of
the soil and soil water samples are reported in this report. In this report the main results
of these studies are presented. The obtained results will be further analyzed and the
results from these analyses and the sorption tests will be reported later.
Soil samples were collected in May 2008 from three different excavator pits located on
Olkiluoto Island: OL-KK14, OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 (Fig. 1). Samples were taken
from organic layer and from four to five mineral layers depending on the sampling site.
The samples were dried and dry weight, organic matter content and pH were
determined. Also grain size and mineralogical analysis were carried out. The
characteristics affecting the sorption of radionuclides were studied using sequential
extractions. These extractions were used to receive information about the ion-exchange
characteristics of the soil as well as information about the different metal fractions
bound by organic matter, carbonates and oxides of iron and manganese.
Besides the samples taken for the characterization of soil, supplement samples were
taken from the same layers for the separation of soil water. Cations and anions of the
soil solution were analyzed.
Samples taken from the excavator pits were in addition used in sorption tests. In these
tests the results of soil solution analysis and sequential extractions will be used. Aim of
these tests is to determine the Kd-values for Cs, Tc and I and later for Mo, Nb and Cl.
Results of these tests will be reported later.

millg gmmnaspcctromctry in the Laboratory of Radiochcmistry,
About 3 g of each sample taken for the soil characterization was weighted in 100 ml
Q
decanters. The samples were kept in a drying oven at 105 C for about 24 hours. The
samples were cooled in room temperature and weighted. The dry matter content of the
samples were calculated using equation (1 )
where DW(105)d is the mass of the sample used for the determination of dry matter
content after annealing in 105 QC, DW(40)d is the mass of the sample used for the
determination of dry matter content determination before annealing in 105 QC, DW(40)
is the mass of the hole sample after drying in 40/60 QC or freeze dryer and WW is the
wet mass of the whole sample.
After weighting the samples were further incinerated in 550 QC for 4-5 hours. The
samples were cooled in room temperature and weighted. The proportion of organic
matter was calculated using equation (2)
in which m550 is the mass of sample after annealing in 550 QC and m]05 is the mass of the
sample after drying in 105 QC.
Dried samples were dry sieved in Geological Survey of Finland (Espoo) into seven
fractions, <0.063 mm, 0.125-0.063 mm, 0.25-0.125 mm, 0.50-0.25 mm, 1.0-0.5 mm,
2.0-1.0 mm and >2.0 mm. Part of each sample was powdered in an agate mortar and the
powder was used for the X-ray diffraction analyses (Philips X'Pert MPD). XRD spectra
were recorded in angle interval 2-70Q 28, with step size of 0.02 Q28. Time per step was
1.00s.
F or the identification of clay minerals directed preparations were made from four fine
matter «0.063 mm) fraction. Preparations were heated and treated with ethenglycol.
Ethenglycol treatment was done to identify the swelling minerals in the samples.
Heating enables the identification of kaolinite and chlorite as they both have diffraction
14
The <0.063 mm fraction was further send to Labtium Oy (Kuopio) for the grain size
analyses using SediGraph 5100 -instrument. The SediGraph 5100 determines particle
size distribution using the sedimentation by measuring particle mass using X-ray
absorption and by measuring the rate at which particles fall under gravity through a
liquid.
For the pH measurements 20g of soil sample was weighted into 50 ml beaker and 20 ml
of deionised water was added (GLOBE 2008, Ryti 1965, Bain et al. 2003). The sample
was stirred for 30 seconds and then let to settle for 3 minutes. Stirring was repeated for
five times, where after the sample was let to settle for 10 minutes. pH was measured
from the supematant using a pH meter with gel filled electron. The pH meter was
calibrated before every use.
The pH of the soil samples is always measured from the soil which has been silted up
with a liquid (Ryti, 1965). The result of the measurement is dependent on the salt
concentration of the liquid used. This is because acidic cations like H+ and Ae+ are
transferred from the surfaces of the soil particles to the liquid. As the salt concentration
of the liquid increases more acidic cations are removed from the soil particles to the
liquid. This decreases the measured pH value. When pH is measured using water as a
liquid the salt concentration of the liquid is depended on the concentration of soluble
salts of the soil particles. When pH measurement is done in a saline solution (0.01 M
CaCh), protons are exchanged from the soil particles into the liquid. In Finnish soils the
pH measured using water are in general 0.6 units higher than the values obtained when
0.01 M CaCh is used. For the purpose of the later sorption tests the knowledge
regarding the pH of soil and soil water in as natural conditions as possible is needed.
The later sorption tests will be carried out in a soil solution simulants with a low salt
concentration (0.001 M). The objective is to attain the equilibrium between the soil
sample and the simulant when the pH of the solution is no longer changed. This
equilibrium is used in the sorption tests in which Kd-values i.e. the ratio of radionuclide
in solid phase compared to radionuclide in water phase are determined.
Sequential extractions can be used to evaluate and predict the extractability, mobility
and bioavailability of alkali metals, alkali earth metals, radioactive elements and series
of other metal ions (Abollino et al. 2006, Schultz et al. 1998a). In a sequential
extraction procedure the soil sample is made to react with a series of different extraction
reagents, which have increasing extraction strength (Abollino et al. 2006). Each step is
designed to selectively dissolute a certain geochemical phase of the sample (Schultz et
15

4 RESULTS
Dry matter content, organic matter content and pH of the samples from excavator pits
OL-KK14, OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 are presented in Table 3. The pH of the samples
increases as a function of depth from an average of 4.54 ± 0.39 (n=3) in the humus layer
to an average of 8.43 ± 0.30 (n=3) in the deepest layers (Fig 8).
Podzolic soils are the most common soil types in northern coniferous forests (Westman
1991, Kahk6nen 1996). The typical soil layers for podsols are humus layer, A-horizon
(e1uvial horizon), B-horizon (illuvial horizon) and C-horizon (unchanged / slightly
changed basal till). Oxides of iron and aluminum are released from the surface mineral
layers through chemical weathering. In B-horizon these oxides are precipitated again.
The pH of podzolic soil typically increases in B- and C-horizons. Because the acidity of
soil depends on the organic matter content the surface layers are typically more acidic
than the lower layers.
When comparing the pH values obtained with different methods (i.e. pH measured in
water, pH measured in saline solution) it is worth noting that pH measured in water is
typically 0.5 -1.0 pH units higher than pH values measured in saline solution (Westman
1991). Also the pretreatment of the sample affects the measured pH value. The samples
dried in a drying oven have typically lower pH values than air dried samples. In this
study the samples from the lower soil layers were dried in freeze dryer. This may have
an effect on the measured pH values, which were rather high in the lowest layers. In
previous studies in Olkiluoto the pH of soil varied from 4.0 to 8.0 in surface soil layers
and from 6.5 to 8.0 in C-horizon (Lahdenpera et al. 2005).
For the same samples dry matter content increases as a function of depth from an
average minimum of 39.0 ± 11.2 % (n=3) in the humus layer (Fig. 9) to an average
proportion of 89.4 ± 2.8 % (n=13) in the mineral layers. The organic matter content
decreases from an average maximum of 58.6 ± 4.2 % (n=3) in the humus layer to an
average proportion of 0.9 ± 0.6 % (n=13) in the mineral layers (Fig 10).

The grain size distribution of mineral soil samples from excavator pits OL-KKI4, OL-
KK15 and OL-KKI6 are presented in Figures 11 - 13 and in Appendix 1. The average
grain size distribution of the soil samples from OL-KKI4, OL-KK15 and OL-KKI6 are
presented in Figure 14. The soil type of the samples is mainly sandy till (d50, MaJk6nen
(ed.) 2003) (Table 1). The proportion of fine fraction (0 <0.063 mm) increases after
uppermost mineral layer and is largest in MS2 for OL-KK14 and OL-KK15, being 37 %
and 38 % respectively. In OL-KKI6 the proportion of fine material is highest in MS3
(28%), but the difference between layers MS2, MS3 and MS4 were minor. The main
part of the fine material is silt in all samples and the proportion of clay (0 <0.002 mm)
varies from 0 to 12 %. In samples from MS 1 layers the average proportion of clay is 1
%. In deeper layers from MS2 to MS5 the average proportion of clay is higher being 6
%. The highest clay proportions were found in OL-KK14 and OL-KK15 MS2 layers.
Similarly the proportion of silt varies between 1 to 26 %. In MSl layer of OL-KKI4,
OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 the average proportion of silt was 4 %. In deeper layers the
proportion of silt increases being on average 21 %. Major part of the samples is
composed of sand and all the samples contain an average of 56 % sand with a range
from 41 to 70 %. The average proportion of fine sand from all sand is 47 % and it varies
between 13 and 61 %.

The minerals found in soil samples from OL-KK14. OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 are
presented in Appendix 2. In Figures 15-17 the main minerals in samples from OL-
KK14, OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 are shown. The XRD spectra of the samples are
presented in Appendix 3. The samples constituted mainly of quartz, K-feldspar and
plagioclase. In addition small amounts « 5%) of mica, chlorite and amphibole were
found. In some samples also minor amounts of hematite was detected. Swelling clay
minerals were not found. In the IR analyses done for two samples some kaolinite was
detected. Thereby in samples which have found to contain chlorite. also kaolinite can
exist. Moreover some small amounts of talc were found in MS3 layer of OL-KK15
profile. In each excavator pit the main mineral for each grain size was quartz. The
average quartz content in the mineral layers was 66 % and varied from 55 to 70 %. The
proportion of K-feldspar and plagioclase content varied between 10 - 25 % and 10 - 30
%. respectively. An average K-feldspar proportion for all grain sizes was 12 % and for
plagioclase the average was 19 %.

The concentrations of Li, Na, Mg, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Mo,
Cd, Cs and Pb extracted in different extraction steps are presented in Appendix 4. In
step A the exchangeable and soluble fonns of metals are extracted (Reddy et al. 2001).
In second step tightly adsorbed metals and those associated with carbonates and easily
soluble oxides/hydroxides are extracted under acidic conditions. In step three additional
soluble metal oxides as well metals associated with Fe-Mn oxides are extracted at
slightly acidic pH. In fourth step metals associated in organic matter and other easily
oxidisable solids or compounds are extracted. In the residual step the metals bound
strongly to silicates and to crystalline iron oxides are present. The concentrations in the
different steps of the extraction procedure showed considerably variety. This may refer
to the differences in the composition of carbonates, Fe-Mn oxides, organic matter as
well as cation exchange capacity and silicates in different soil layers and grain sizes. In
Figure 18 the proportions (%) ofLi, Na, Mg, K Ca and Cs in four mineral layers ofOL-
KK14 extracted in different extraction steps are presented as an example. The
concentrations of all analyzed elements extracted in different extraction steps are
presented in Appendix 4. In sampling site OL-KKI4 the concentrations of Li varied
between different extractions steps from 0.05 to 23 mg/kgDW. The highest
concentrations were found for the grain size of 1 - 2 mm in MS2 layer in the residual
fraction (step E). For sodium the concentrations varied between 0.9 and 78 mg/kgDW in
extraction steps A-D. The highest concentration of 426 mg/kgDW was detected in the
residual fraction of the MS2 layer grain size of 1 - 2 mm. As with lithium and sodium,
the maximum concentrations for magnesium were also found in the residual fraction. In
other extraction fractions the concentrations of Mg varied between 30 and 380
mg/kgDW. In the OL-KKI4 samples the highest calcium concentrations were found in
the exchangeable fraction (step A) of the organic layer. Cesium was found only in the
residual fraction of the OL-KKI4 samples. In the residual fraction the Cs concentrations
ranged between 610 and 710 mg/kgDW.

In Figure 19 the proportions (weight-%) of Ni, Se and Mo in five soil layers of OL-
KK14 extracted in different extraction steps are presented. Also in figure 19 the
concentrations of Ni, Se and Mo (mg/kgDW) extracted in different extraction steps are
shown. In sampling site OL-KKI4 the concentrations of Ni varied between different
extractions steps from values below detection limit to 15 mg/kgDW. The highest
concentrations were found for the grain size of < 0.060 mm in MS2layer in the residual
fraction (step E). For selenium the concentrations varied between 0.1 and 58 mg/kgDW.
The highest concentration of 58 mg/kgDW was detected in the exchangeable fraction of
the humus layer grain size of <0.063 mm. The maximum concentrations for
molybdenium were also found in the exchangeable fraction. However the variation in
the concentrations of Mo in different soil layers was small.

The activity concentrations of 137Cs in litter, organic layers and mineral layers are
presented in Appendix 5 and in figures 20 and 21. The depth profiles of 137Cs in the
sampling sites studied showed considerable variety. This is typical for the Chernobyl
fallout as the deposition of 137Cs from the Chernobyl accident was very unevenly
distributed in Finland (Kansanen et al. 1991, Bus and Saxen 2005). This was caused by
the differences in the areal rainfall conditions.
The total activity of soil profiles 1,2 and 3 from OL-KKI5 ranged between 5.40 ± 0.06
and 7.26 ± 0.06 kBq/m2 and the average total activity was 6.0 ± 1.1 kBq/m2. In soil
profiles L 2 and 3 from OL-KKI6 the total 137 CS activity varied from 2.94 ± 0.03 to
5.15 ± 0.04 kBq/m2. The major source of 137 Cs in the Olkiluoto area is from Chernobyl
fallout (Haapanen 2006). According to previous studies (Arvela et al. 1990) the 137Cs
deposition in Eurajoki was 11 - 23 kBq/m2 in October 1987. This would correspond to
an activity of7 - 14 kBq/m2 in May 2008.

The peak activities for 137 CS were in organic layer in the depth of 1 - 6 cm for profiles 1
and 2 from OL-KK15. For profile 3 in OL-KK15 the peak value was found in litter. For
the samples from OL-KK16 the peak activities were found in mineral layer in the depth
of 6 - 10 cm. In the OL-KK15 profiles the activities decreased rapidly in the organic
layer below the peak value. In OL-KK16 samples the activities in the mineral layer
below the peak value showed substantial variation ranging from 3.8 ± 0.3 to 67.0 ± 1.0
Bq/kgDW.
In 2005 the total 137 Cs activity in the soil samples from three different sampling sites in
Olkiluoto in depth of 0 - 6 cm varied from 389 Bq/kgDW to 1489 Bq/kgDW (Haapanen
2006). In OL-KK15 the average total 137 CS activity in depth of 0 - 6 cm was 633 ± 44
Bq/kgDW, which corresponds to the previous studies. In OL-KK16 the majority of the
137 Cs activity was however found in deeper mineral layer from 6 to 10 cm and the
average total activity in the depth of 0 - 6 cm was only 88 ± 10 Bq/kgDW. The
difference between OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 depends on the thickness of the organic
layer. In OL-KK15 profiles thickness of the organic layer was 10 cm but in OL-KK16
profiles it was only 1 cm. As humus can retain cesium. the difference in the thickness of
organic layer can induce a more intense downwards migration of 137Cs in OL-KK16
than in OL-KK15.
pH and DOC of the soil solution separated by centrifugation from the OL-KK14. OL-
KK15 and OL-KK16 samples are presented in Figures 22 and 23 and Appendix 6. In the
soil solution from OL-KK14 and OL-KK15 pH increased as a function of depth from an
average of 4.35 ± 0.55 in the humus layer to an average of 7.36 ± 0.57 in the MS4 and
MS5 layers. In OL-KK16 the pH of the soil solution was somewhat higher in the
organic layer being 6.67. In OL-KK16 the minimum pH of 5.95 was found in the MSl
layer. The maximum pH value of 7.39 in the MS4 layer of OL-KK16 corresponded to
the maximum values found in OL-KK14 and OL-KK15.

samples, being 8.3 ± 5.4 mgll (n=6). In OL-KK14 and OL-KK16 the sodium
concentrations showed less variation. The average sodium concentrations were 3.9 ± 2.1

In all sampling sites the nickel concentrations (Fig. 32) of the soil solution were small.
The highest nickel concentrations of the soil solution were found in the humus layer for
sampling sites OL-KK14 and OL-KK16. The Ni concentration in the humus layer of
OL-KK14 was 0.015 mg/l and in OL-KK16 0.013 mg/l. In OL-KK15 the Ni
concentration in the humus layer was lower then in the other two sampling sites, being
0.005 mg/l. In OL-KK15 the highest nickel concentrations (0.013 mg/l) were found in
the MS 1 layer. In the lower layers (MS2 - MS5) of all sampling sites the nickel
concentrations decreased and the variation between different layers and sampling sites
were minor in these layers. The average Ni concentrations in MS2 - MS5 layers of all
sampling sites was 0.0012 ± 0.0006 mg/l (n=10).

5 SUMMARY
The dry matter content and pH of the soil samples from all sampling sites increased as a
function of depth. The organic matter content of the soil samples decreased respectively.
The soil type in the OL-KK14, OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 samples was mainly sandy till,
which corresponds to the previous studies in the Olkiluoto area (Lintinen eta 1. 2003,
Rautio et al 2004. Huhta, 2007). The proportion of clay (0 < 0.002mm) varied from 0
to 12 %. In previous studies the clay content has generally varied from 7 to 14%
(Lintinen et a1. 2003, Lahdenpedi et a1. 2005).
The main minerals found in the soil samples were quartz, K-feldspar and plagioclase in
all grain size fractions. Also small amounts of mica, chlorite and amphibole were found.
In previous studies (Lintinen et a1. 2003) the typical minerals found in the < 2 mm
fraction of the soil samples were quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, mica, chlorite and
hornblende. In these studies the typical minerals for the <0.002 mm fraction have been
illite, chlorite and hornblende.
The depth profiles of 137CS in the sampling sites studied showed considerable variety.
The average total activity was 6.0 ± 1.1 kBq/m2 in the soil profiles from OL-KK15. In
soil profiles 1, 2 and 3 from OL-KK16 the average total 137Cs activity was 3.9 ± 1.1
kBq/m2. The peak activities for 137CS were in organic layer in the depth of 1 - 6 cm for
all three profiles from OL-KK15. For the samples from OL-KK16 the peak activities
were found in mineral layer in the depth of 6 - 10 cm. The difference between OL-
KK15 and OL-KK16 depends on the thickness of the organic layer. In OL-KK15
profiles thickness of the organic layer was 10 cm but in 0 L-KK 16 profiles it was only 1
cm. As humus can retain cesium, the difference in the thickness of organic layer can
induce a more intense downwards migration of 137Cs in OL-KK16 than in OL-KK15.
The F, Cl, N0 3 and S04 concentrations in the soil solution samples from sampling sites
OL-KK14, OL-KK15 and OL-KK16 showed significant variation and the main cations
in the soil solution samples were Na, Mg, K and Ca.
The results of this study will later be further analyzed and used as background
information in the following sorption tests, in which Kd values for Cs, I, Tc and later for
Mo, Nb and Cl are to be determined.
