Abstract

The KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) is a research tunnel which is located in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) site. At KURT, researches on engineering and natural barrier system, which are the most important components for geological disposal system for high level radioactive waste, have been conducted. In this study, we synthesized the site characteristics obtained by various types of site investigation to introduce the geological model for KURT site, and induced the 3-D hydrogeological model for KURT site from the geological model. From the geological investigation at the surface and boreholes, four geological elements such as subsurface weathered zone, upper fractured rock, lower fractured rock and fracture zones were determined for the geological model. In addition, the geometries of these geological elements were also analyzed for the geological model to be three-dimensional. The results from 3-D geological model were used to construct the hydro-geological model for KURT site, which is one of the input data for groundwater flow modeling and safety assessment.

KAERI Underground Research Tunnel(이하 KURT)는 한국원자력연구원의 연구지역에 건설된 지하처분연구시설이다. 현재 KURT에서는 방사성폐기물의 심층 처분의 주요 핵심 요소인 공학적 방벽과 천연방벽에 대한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 심부영역의 부지특성평가기술을 구축하기 위해 수행된 KURT 연구지역의 부지특성조사를 종합하여, 부지 지질모델을 구축하고, 이로부터 3차원 수리지질모델을 도출하였다. 연구지역에서 수행된 지질조사와 시추공 조사 결과를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 수리지질학적 관점에서 중요한 풍화대, 상부 단열암반대, 하부 단열암반대와 심부 영역에 존재하는 결정론적 단열대를 정의하여 이들을 3차원으로 모형화 하였고, 구축된 지질모델과 현장수리시험 결과를 종합하여 지하수유동모델링 및 처분 안전성 평가에 주요한 입력 자료가 될 수리지질모델을 도출하였다.
