In this study, groundwater flow modeling based on the hydrogeological conceptual model was carried out using data of hydraulic responses and groundwater chemistry changes until 500m depth of MIU excavation. As a result of this study, trend of inflow rate into the MIU facilities and hydraulic and geochemical impacts around the MIU Construction Site caused by the MIU construction were reproduced in groundwater flow simulation. In addition, validation of the hydrogeological conceptual model was confirmed.

We have initiated a research on the coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) processes and are trying to carry out numerical experiments on the coupled THMC processes in order to predict the near-field long-term evolution. This paper describes the modified THMC model to add on the function of de-gases and gases diffusion, accumulation and dilution phenomena for mass transport analysis, and of ionic exchange, surface reaction and kinetic reaction for geochemical analysis. And also the results of demonstration study with THMC code are shown.
