High alkaline pore water runs out from a large amount of cementitious material used for the TRU waste disposal to the host rock, and there is a possibility that the migration characteristic of the nuclide. Here, the applicability of a chemical model in the environment with water flow was evaluated by the viewpoint of the solution composition and the precipitation composition by conducting the experiment that passed high alkaline solution to the column. As a result, a change with the lapse of time of the concentration was able to be reproduced almost for the solution composition. Moreover, the precipitation of Al was not able to be reproduced though Ca and Si were able to be wide in the column. The thermodynamics data of the secondary mineral including Al, the maintenance of the precipitation rate, and the applicability examination to the experiment result etc. are profitable as future tasks.
