Abstract

In relation to the high-level radioactive waste disposal project in deep fractured rock aquifer environments, it is essential to evaluate hydrogeological characteristics for evaluating the suitability of the site and operational stability. Such subsurface hydrogeological data is obtained through in-situ tests using boreholes excavated at the target site. The accuracy and reliability of the investigation results are directly related to the selection of appropriate test methods, the performance of the investigation system, standardization of the investigation procedure. In this report, we introduce the detailed procedures for the representative test method, the constant pressure injection test (CPIT), which is used to determine the key hydrogeological parameters of the subsurface fractured rock aquifer, namely hydraulic conductivity and storativity. This report further refines the standard test method suggested by the KSRM in 2022 and includes practical field application case conducted in volcanic rock aquifers where this investigation procedure has been applied.

고심도 균열암반대수층 환경에서 주로 수행되는 방사성폐기물 처분사업과 관련하여, 부지적합성 및 운영 시 안정성 평가를 평가하는데 있어 해당 대상 부지의 수리지질특성 평가는 필수적이다. 이러한 심부 수리지질 특성평가에 사용되는 인자 자료는 대상 부지에 굴착된 시추공을 이용한 원위치 수리시험을 통해 얻어지는데, 이 때 조사 결과의 정확도와 신뢰성은 적합한 시험방법의 선택, 조사 시스템의 성능, 조사절차의 표준화와 직접적으로 연결된다. 본 보고에서는 심부 암반대수층의 핵심 수리지질 평가인자인 수리전도도와 저류계수를 구하기 위한 대표적인 시험법인 정압주입시험의 상세조사절차를 소개하였다. 본 보고는 2022년도에 제안한 암반공학회 정압주입시험 관련 표준시험법 자료를 보완하여 구체화 하였으며, 본 조사절차가 실제 적용된 화산암 지역 시추공 현장적용 사례도 함께 소개하였다.
