This report describes the results of a joint research entitled "Study on Simulation of Salt Accumulation" which was conducted under the collaboration between the Institute of Research and Innovation and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. In the experiments for salt accumulation, accumulation of ${it Na$_{2}$SO$_{4}$}$ and ${it CaSO$_{4}$}$ was observed near the heater surface. Based on the facts from experiments, we have made hypothesis for mechanism of salt accumulation, and developed the model for it. Then, we conducted numerical simulations for salt accumulation phenomena under the saturated condition using the geochemical code "PHREEQC". It became clear that salt accumulation behavior can be evaluated qualitatively from these simulations, but quantitative evaluation requires more realistic modeling. Moreover we evaluated salt accumulation phenomena by simulations using coupled thermo - hydro - mechanical and chemical model / code assuming the unsaturated and / or saturated condition. A series of simulations were conducted focusing on accumulation of gypsum, and the result showed that tendency of salt accumulation phenomena was in agreement with that of experiments, but the profile of distribution of accumulated gypsum was not in agreement. In conclusion, it became clear that more realistic boundary condition should be considered and problems on coupled model / code were identified for further study.
