Stepwise Hydrogeological Characterisation Utilising a Geosynthesis Methodology – a Case Study from the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory Project
The Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (“MIU”) is now under construction by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in the Cretaceous Toki granite in the Tono area of central Japan. One of the main goals of the MIU project, which is a broad scientific study of the deep geological environment as a basis of research and development for geological disposal of nuclear wastes, is to establish compre...
متن کاملHydraulic tomography in fractured granite: Mizunami Underground Research site, Japan
[1] Two large-scale cross-hole pumping tests were conducted at depths of 191–226 m and 662–706 m in deep boreholes at the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) construction site in central Japan. During these two tests, induced groundwater responses were monitored at many observation intervals at various depths in different boreholes at the site. We analyze the two cross-hole pumping t...
متن کاملChemolithotrophy in the continental deep subsurface: Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), USA
The deep subsurface is an enormous repository of microbial life. However, the metabolic capabilities of these microorganisms and the degree to which they are dependent on surface processes are largely unknown. Due to the logistical difficulty of sampling and inherent heterogeneity, the microbial populations of the terrestrial subsurface are poorly characterized. In an effort to better understan...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of the Segmental Lining of Underground Structures
There are several methods for analysing the behaviour of underground structures under different loading conditions. Most of these methods have many simplifications; therefore, in some cases, the results are too conservative and a very high safety factor, usually of more than 2 is needed. On the other hand, for stability analysis and the designing of support systems, these methods consider segme...
متن کاملNeutron Flux at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory Revisited
The neutron flux induced by radioactivity at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory is revisited. We have performed calculations and Monte Carlo simulations; the results offer an independent check to the available experimental data reported by different authors, which vary rather widely. This study gives detailed information on the expected spectrum and on the variability of the neutron flux due...
