Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been investigating groundwater chemistry to understand the effect 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 2016 and 2014 to 2016, respectively. 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.

Estimation method of long-term groundwater chemistry in granite

We reproduced the groundwater quality in granite up to a depth of about 1000m using the geochemical simulation code, and devised a method to identify the major minerals involved in the evolution of water quality. We also estimated the long-term water-rock interaction of these minerals based on groundwater ages.
