Mass transport study is mainly performed as part of Phase III in the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory Project. In Phase III, the goal of mass transport study is to obtain a better understanding of mass transport phenomena in the geological environment as well as to develop technologies for measurement of the mass transport parameters, model construction, numerical analysis and validation of those technologies. This study was planned to understand the influence of the geological characteristics of fracture on the mass transport parameters.

The study for development of drift backfilling technologies is one of the critical issues in the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) project, and its purposes are to develop closure methodology and technology, and long-term monitoring technology, and to evaluate resilience of geological environment. To achieve the purposes, previous information from the case example of underground facility constructed in crystalline rock in Europe has been collected. In particular, the boundary conditions for the closure, geological characteristics, technical specifications, and method of monitoring have been focused. The information on the international project regarding drift closure test and development of monitoring technologies has also been collected. In addition, interviews were conducted to specialists who have experiences involving planning, construction management, monitoring, and safety assessment for the closure. Based on the collected information, concept and point of attention, which are regarding drift closure testing, and planning, execution management and monitoring on the closure of MIU, have been specified.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency is proceeding with the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory Project in order to establish comprehensive techniques for the investigation, analysis and assessment of the deep geological environment in fractured crystalline rock for geological disposal of high level radioactive wastes. We have carried out discrete fracture network modeling, groundwater flow and particle tracking simulation in order to understand the important factors for the solute transport characterizations. In this paper, a method of discrete fracture network modeling based on in-situ data at underground gallery and the influences of different data interpretation are described.

The observation technique of hydrochemical condition in low permeable sedimentary rock around the facility is one of R&D subjects. We report, (1) development of hydrochemical monitoring system to observe water pressure, pH, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, redox potential and temperature, (2) hydrochemical observation results around URL under construction. The applicability of the hydrochemical monitoring system is evaluated for low permeable sedimentary rock bearing abundant dissolved gases. The hydrochemical observation during facility construction demonstrates that pH and redox potential of groundwater almost did not changed even at hydraulic disturbed zone (water pressure decreased zone).

Physicochemical parameters of deep groundwater at the depth of 500 m were measured at ground surface and the in-situ sampling depth of borehole to understand the redox condition and dominant redox process. The results show that the redox potential at the depth was approximately -100 mV and was controlled by the reaction of chemical pairs of (Fe
, SO
)/(FeS) or (SO, FeCO
)/(FeS). The pH value at ground surface changed approximately 0.4 from that at the in-situ depth by degassing of dissolved carbon dioxide. The time to reach the stable ORP value in monitoring depends on the shape and surface area of Pt electrode. The columnar-shape Pt electrode is more sensitive for deep groundwater rather than a dot-shape Pt electrode. It is important to correct the pH measured at ground surface for the analysis of in-situ redox reaction process.

Spectral analyses of the groundwater pressure data which has been monitored in the boreholes; HDB-3, 6, 7 and 8, were carried out to estimate formation properties and remove the components of response to atmospheric pressure fluctuation and earth tide from time series. The results revealed that groundwater pressure at the all intervals responds to atmospheric pressure but does not respond to earth tide at all above the resolution of measurements. Specific storage, vertical hydraulic conductivity and shear modulus were estimated from the response to atmospheric loading and compared with the data obtained in the laboratory experiments.

Measurement of redox potential in deep groundwater was conducted at ground surface and in-situ monitoring part of borehole to refine the properties of ORP electrode. The results show that the time to reach the stable value of redox potential depends on shape of Pt electrode.

The instrument for groundwater monitoring technique, which can continuously monitor the pore water pressure and physico-chemical parameters has developed, to monitor the hydrological and geochemical disturbances caused by underground facility construction. The pore water pressure was observed almost the same value after the circulation for the measurement of physico-chemical parameters. It was able to be confirmed that the continuous measurement for physico-chemical parameters doesn't influence the observation of pore water pressure.

Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model provides the basis of groundwater flow analysis and solute transport analysis for crystalline rock. Due to its complexity, it is difficult to estimate how the input parameters influence the result of the analysis. In this study, using the data obtained in the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) project conducted by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), we examined how the modeling methodology influenced the result of groundwater flow analysis and solute transport analysis.
