Development of numerical model on the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical process for the assessment methodology of chemical effects in the buffer material

Kimura, Makoto*; Sazarashi, Masami; Fujita, Tomoo ; Nakama, Shigeo ; Suzuki, Hideaki

Numerical model which can quantify the complex evolution of the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical processes in the near-field of a HLW repository has been developed and the outline of the model considering heat flow, fluid flow, mass transport and a variety of chemical reactions such as mineral dissolution/precipitation, gas dissolution/exsolution, ion-exchange and surface complexation are described. The applicability of the numerical model was shown by the following three efforts. (1) Intercomparison analysis against another coupled model, TOUGHREACT which has been developed in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. (2) Comparison with the measured data in the designed laboratory tests for the salt accumulation/precipitation. (3) Perspective simulation on chemical changes in the near-field involving the radioactive decay heat arising from the vitrified waste and infiltration of ground water into the buffer material.
