概要

Long-term radiation exposure can cause damage of concrete structures due to the volume expansion of the aggregate minerals. In this study, granite, sandstone, and tuff were irradiated with 2.8 MeV Fe2+ at room temperature to different level of ion fluences. Step height measurement was conducted to quantify the volume change. It was found that the swelling of all minerals saturated at around 300 nm. Tuff, which contains almost all silica, exhibited the fastest swelling, among others.
