基于环境示踪剂氯的北山地区浅部地下水补给研究

地下水补给研究是高放废物深地质处置库选址和场址评价的重要研究内容之一。甘肃北山地区是我国高放废物地质处置库场址首选预选区,为查明该区地下水补给特征,基于环境示踪剂氯查明了北山地区浅部地下水补给量。结果表明:(1)总体而言,氯质量平衡方法在北山地区应用效果较好。(2)基于包气带的氯质量平衡方法计算得出的浅部地下水垂向补给量在渗透性较大的沟谷盆地中为0.07~2.03 mm·a-1,平均值约1.0 mm·a-1。(3)基于饱和带的氯质量平衡方法计算得出北山地区浅部地下水多年平均入渗补给量为0.25 mm·a-1,不足多年平均降水量的0.5%。相关结果可为我国高放废物地质处置库选址和场址评价提供依据。

北山新场BS34钻孔岩样在不同温度下的水岩作用

高放废物深地质处置过程中,放射性核素衰变可能产生大量的热量,释放到处置硐室周围环境中将影响深部地质环境局部的水岩作用。为探究温度对新场场址深部地下水化学环境的影响,使用新场场址原状地下水与BS34钻孔深部花岗岩岩样,开展了不同温度下室内水岩作用研究。结果表明:BS34钻孔岩样与原状地下水反应后,水相的pH为6.4~8.5,总溶解固体(TDS)为1653.9~1759.6 mg/L。随着温度的升高,水溶液Na^(+)、K^(+)浓度增大,其中Na^(+)可能来源于钠长石溶解、阳离子交换作用,K^(+)可能来源于钾长石溶解;Ca^(2+)、Mg^(2+)、HCO_(3)^(-)浓度减少,主要以方解石和白云石的形式沉淀析出,反应温度越高,沉淀析出越多。

Research of in-situ hydraulic test method by using double packer equipment

Double packer equipment for hydraulic test can be used to measure pressure of test zone directly, and it is frequently used to perform many kinds of hydraulic tests and take groundwater sample from borehole. The test method of this equipment mainly includes the test design, implementation, interpretation and synthetic analysis. By adopting the double packer equipment for hydraulic test, the parameter distribution of rock permeability along borehole can be acquired, as well as the connectivity, water conductivity and water bearing capacity of the disclosed structure and the chemical characteristics of the deep groundwater. It is a necessary method for the research and evaluation of the complex hypotonicity terrace site selection under geological conditions. This method is not only suitable for the geological disposal of high level radioactive waste, but also can be used in the site selection of underground facilities such as storage of petroleum and carbon dioxide. Meanwhile, it has a good application prospect in other hydrogeological investigation fields.

Study on the residence time of deep groundwater for high-level radioactive waste geological disposal

Residence time of deep groundwater is one of the most important parameters in safety and performance assessment for high-level radioactive waste geological disposal. In this study, we collected the deep groundwater samples of Jijicao in Gansu Beishan pre-selected region. The deep groundwater residence time at two depths estimated by Helium-4 accumulation method were 3.8 ka and 5.0 ka respectively upon measurement and calculation, which indicates that the deep groundwater is not derived from the deep crust circulation process. Hence, deep groundwater is featured with long residence time as well as slow circulation and update rate, and such features are conductive to the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste.

Distribution characteristics of tritium in the soil in Beishan area of Gansu Province

Beishan region in Gansu was the preselected area for China's high-level radioactive waste(HLW) repository. In selecting and evaluating a new dump site, the tritium study is of great significance. The Xinchang-Xiangyangshan preselected area in the Beishan area was taken as an example. This paper selects typical unit and tries to use the distribution characteristics of tritium in the soil to study the atmospheric precipitation infiltration recharge in this area. The results show: In this region, the spatial variability of the tritium content in surface soil is large; it is feasible to use bound tritium tracer method to study the theory of atmospheric precipitation infiltration recharge; the atmospheric precipitation infiltration has close relationship with the soil particle composition, salt content, mineral composition, water content and organic matter content. These results can provide important basis for developing the atmospheric precipitation infiltration recharge, groundwater numerical simulation, nuclide migration study and so on.
