Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been investigating groundwater chemistry to understand the influence of excavation and maintenance of underground facilities as part of the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) Project in Mizunami, Gifu, Japan. In this report, we compiled data of groundwater chemistry and microbiology obtained at the MIU in the fiscal year 2017. In terms of ensuring traceability of data, basic information (e.g. sampling location, sampling time, sampling method and analytical method) and methodology for quality control are described.

In this study, the simulated experimental drift was constructed in the granite of 500 m depth at Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory, and the hydrochemical process after the drift closure was observed. The groundwater chemistry around the drift changed with the change of the groundwater flow in the fractures when the gallery was constructed. The redox potential increased due to the infiltration of oxygen from the drift into the rock. After closing the drift, the redox potential of the groundwater plunged due to microbial activity, while the groundwater became alkalized conditon due to the influence of cement material such as shotcrete. The amount of cement material consumed for this alkalization was small, and it was considered that its influence would last long in accordance with the amount of cement used.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been investigating groundwater chemistry to understand the effect on excavating and maintenance of underground facilities as part of the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) Project in Mizunami, Gifu, Japan. In this report, we compiled data of groundwater chemistry obtained at the MIU in the fiscal year 2015.

We studied colloidal solutes transport in deep groundwater at depths of 500 m in Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory. Colloidal phases consist of silicate minerals, calcite, iron-hydroxides were observed in groundwater. Those particles possibly transport 10-80 % of metal elements and rare earth elements. In the closed drift, colloidal phases consist of biofilms, ZnS were observed. Since the concentration of rare earth elements are considerably low, rare earth elements with solute and colloidal phases probably absorbed on cementing materials, clay materials in closed drift.

Geochemical condition and solutes transport property in and around a simulated closure tunnel were studied by observing the behavior of REEs at Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory. Results show that the REEs in the closure tunnel tend to be immobilized by absorbing to shotcrete and the colloidal flocculation.

Groundwater dating using C, He, noble gas method was conducted in Mizunami Underground Research laboratory. The availability of degassing method for , flux estimation method for He were examined. It was identified that the groundwater have been derived in glacial age. The integration of distinct dating method is available to estimate precise age of groundwater.
