This paper summarises recent progress in the physics basis and its impact on the expected performance of ITER. Significant progress has been made in many outstanding issues and in the development of hybrid and steady state operation scenarios, leading to increased confidence of achieving ITER's goals. Experiments show that tailoring the current profile can improve confinement over the standard H-mode and allow an increase in beta up to the no-wall limit at safety factors 4. Extrapolation to ITER suggests that at the reduced plasma current of
12MA, high Q
10 and long pulse (
1000 s) operation is possible with benign ELMs. Analysis of disruption scenarios has been performed based on guidelines on current quench rates and halo currents, derived from the experimental database. With conservative assumptions, estimated electromagnetic forces on the in-vessel components are below the design target values, confirming the robustness of the ITER design against disruption forces.

In order to establish the most effective procedures for groundwater flow characterization in order to reduce the uncertainty this study, the identidication of essential uncertainty factors for the groundwater flow characterization has been attempted using various conceptual model. In this study, an integrated data flow on the groundwater flow simuration was developed for previously applied various conceptural models. The data flow consists of five steps in order: (1) field investigation, (2) raw / conditioned data, (3) interpretation / data set, (4) conceptualization / modeling / simulation, and (5) results / applications. These are uncertainties in each work and assumption in every step, and the uncertainties have an influence on the modeling methods and simulation resuls. Following the data flow, the uncertain factors affecting the groundwater flow simulation were extracted based on the simulation resuls. Investigation data, methods of investigation and modeling, and analysis technique were examined to solve the problems due to the uncertainties. Acquired information is summarized in the following. As for each work process in the data flow, the uncertainty factors that are considered to affect the results of simulations are extracted by two kinds of comparison methods as follows: (1) comparison of data flow among analysis cases for each conceptual model, and (2) comparison of data flow among conceptual models for each case. The uncertainty factors include hydrogeological mechanism of fault and effective porosity, and the likes. The development of each data flow for four modeling methods was additionally used to clarify the data interpretation technique, the modeling procedure, and the uncertainty factor in each data flow along with the data flow from investigation through evaluation. Extensive through information without bias is, therefore, reflected in groundwater flow analysis by defining the data flow. Establishment of data flow...

For the purpose of evaluating how uncertainties included in modeling of hydrogeological structure and results of groundwater simulation decreased with progress of investigation research, updating and calibration of the models about several modeling techniques of hydrogeological structure and groundwater flow analysis techniques were carried out, based on the information and knowledge which were newly acquired. The acquired knowledge is as follows.The model calibration is performed by the method of matching numericals simulation with observation, about the pressure response caused by opening and closing of a packer in MIU-2 borehole. Each analysis technique attains reducing of residual sum of squares of observations and results of numerical simulation by adjusting hydrogeological parameters. However, each model adjusts different parameters as water conductivity, effective porosity, specific storage, and anisotropy. When calibrating models, sometimes it is impossible to explain the phenomena only by adjusting parameters. In such case, another investigation may be required to clarify details of hydrogeological structure more.Since it is a little more flexible about boundary condition and faults except Tsukiyoshi fault than last year, travel paths themselves vary a little rather than last year. However, as a result, when travel paths are almost the same, model calibration can reduce the variation of travel length and Darcy velocity among models within about one order. It will be necessary to propose investigation aiming at reducing the uncertainty of data, such as water conductivity and effective porosity and at making hydrogeological structure more detailed from a viewpoint of modeling.

This study involves evaluation of uncertainty in hydrogeological modeling and groundwater flow analysis. Three-dimensional groundwater flow analisys in underground research laboratory site in Tono was carried out using three continuum models and one discontinuum model in the domain of 9km9km area. The acquired knowledge is as follows.The effect of variety of modeling method was evaluated under the condition that same analysis domain and same shape of Tsukiyoshi fault were assingned. The results indicated that the variation of travel pathway and travel length resulted from heterogeneity is sometimes larger than from the difference of models, depending on a place. Besides, since the difference between the models in travel time was larger than a travel pathway and travel length, it turns out that the uncertainty of effective porosity used for alculation of the actual flow velocity is large.Moreover, the existing data flow was reconstituted through a series of modeling and analysis of this work. The results indicated that it is necessary to continue reflecting the results of investigation and evaluation in data flow, since data flow varied with modeling concepts.
