The newest literature information in the foreign countries was researched, and this research showed the basic concept of the coupling analysis code to realize coupling analysis in near field of the geological disposal system. The outline of this research is shown in the following. (1)The combination of M (Mechanical) and (Chemistry) is placed on the weak relations, Because coupling analysis of the United States Yucca Mountain limits a site and the specifications of engineered barrier. (2)One of the purposes of this research is information collecting about coupling analysis code NUFT-C adopted in the United States Yucca Mountain. Therefore, we carried out an information exchange with the United States Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. We could collect the development purpose of analysis code, key function, and information such as a test case analysis. (3)The investigation of the analysis code concerned with the newest information of coupling analysis which contains the geochemistry process and 2 phase system was done based on the public information for the purpose of building some concept of the coupling analysis code, the extraction of the development issues. It could be understood about the future development strategy and the precaution in addition to a phenomenon to deal with, the current status of the coupling analysis technique as a result of the investigation. (4)It was cleared about the mission of the coupling analysis code and the requirement items (function, quality) by this research. Then, some development options were presented. (5)It was studied about the procedure of developing it to satisfy the above requirement toward the conditions that a site isn't selected, the short development. The tool (Diffpack) which could cope with the speed-up of the calculation time and visualization flexibly was effective, and it was summarized about the test case by using this tool, the key function of this tool as that result.

We studied the effects of the exposure of extreme environments on life-time and breeding ability of tardigrade to reveal the possibility of multi-cellular organism existences in the outerspace. A life time of animals is the shortest in the heavy-ion exposed animals than any other stressors. There were significant decrease in the number of egg-laying and hatching rate between irradiated and non-irradiated animals. However, we found the next generation in all experimental conditions. Our findings suggest that tardigrades exposed to even any extreme environments could have a descendant.

The aim of this study is to understand the fate of plutonium derived from atomic bomb, which has been preserved in the bottom sediment for 60 years, based on the investigation of the speciation and size distribution of plutonium. Approximately 60 % of plutonium is present as bound to organic matters and 30 % is present as insoluble species such as Pu oxides. Our results also suggest that the fast transformation of plutonium to the species bound to the organic matter for the period of 60 years, evidencing the important role of the natural organic matters on the plutonium speciation in the environment.
