국내의 부지특성 및 감시 관련 규정은 원자력 안전위원회 고시 제2021-16호 제4조(세부지침)와 원자력 안전위원회 고시 제2021-17호 제16조에 의거하고, 국외는 국제원자력기구(IAEA: International Atomic Energy Agency)에서 안전기준을 제시하고 있다(IAEA, 2011). 따라서 국내 중·저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설은 2006년부터 광역 지질을 포함한 부지 지질/지형, 기상, 수문, 수리지질, 인문사회 등을 망라한 조사를 시행하여 부지 현황에 대한 분석 및 안정성 평가를 수행한다. 부지감시의 수문·지구화학 분야에서는 현장 수질 측정 6항목과 실내 분석 26항목을 감시하고 있으나, 본 연구는 이 중 9개 항목(EC, Na, K, Ca, Mg, SiO₂, Cl, SO₄, HCO₃)을 선정하여 분석하였다. 연구 목적은 물시료 분석자료의 주성분-다중선형회귀-군집 분석과 Piper Diagram 분석결과로부터 해수와 담수(지하수)와의 특성분석 및 해수 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 현장 부지내 지하수 7개 관정(GM-1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)과 해수 2개 지점(Sea-1, 2)을 대상으로 통계학적 주성분 분석결과, 대부분의 지하수는2개~4개의 요인으로 구분되고, 해수와의 유사성을 해석하기 위해 확인한 관정은 GM-5, GM-6, GM-1 지점으로 분류되었다. 상기와 같이 해수의 영향을 확인하기 위해 해수 2개 지점과 동일한 군집으로 분류되는 지하수는 GM-5 관정으로 확인되었고, 해안선에서 가까운 GM-5 관정과 같이 유사한 거리에 분포한 지하수 GM-1, 2, 4 관정은 2개 혹은 3개의 최적 군집으로 분류하였을 때도 GM-5와는 다른 특성을 보여주었다. 이는 해안과 인접하더라도 수질은 다른 지질학적 특성(지형, 기상, 단열대 등)에 따라 영향받았음을 지시한다.

지하수 관정의 위치에 따라 대수층과 인근 하천의 수리특성이 다양하여 하천수량에 미치는 지하수 양수의 영향이 공간적으로 다르게 발생하며, 그 영향을 지도(map)상에 표출한 것을 가칭 지하수 양수 영향구역도(국토교통부, 2014)라 한다. 본 연구에서는 황구지천 하류유역에 대해 하천주변 천부대수층 지하수 양수에 따른 하천수 감소량을 Hunt(1999, 2009)의 해석해로 산정하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 지하수 양수 영향구역도를 작성하였다. 지하수 양수 영향구역도 작성에 필요한 입력자료를 구축하기 위해서 현장에서 직접 양수시험을 수행하여 대수층 수리상수를 산정하고 기존 문헌값을 함께 이용하여 수리상수의 공간분포도를 작성하였다. 또한 양수시험공에 인접한 하천의 바닥에 피조미터 및 시피지미터를 설치하여 하상수리전도도를 측정하였다. 하천주변 및 하상의 수리상수값을 Hunt 해석해에 대입하여 지하수 양수량 대비 하천수 감소율을 30m 크기의 셀 단위로 산정하고 이를 구글어스상에 공간적으로 표출하였다. 하천구역에서 300m 이내 지역에서 지하수를 양수할 경우에는 양수기간 5년동안 평균적으로 양수량의 70%를 초과하는 하천수량의 감소가 일어나는 것으로 분석되었다. 지하수 양수 영향구역도를 활용하면 지하수 개발 이용자 및 허가 관련 행정기관이 지하수 관정의 공간적인 위치에 따른 하천수 감소 정도를 정량적으로 쉽게 파악할 수 있다.

우리나라 수자원의 잠재적 문제점중 하나는 단일 하천 혹은 댐에 대한 의존도가 매우 높다는 것이다. 이러한 현상은 한반도의 지형, 기상, 경제성 등의 요인에 의해 야기된 결과이기도 하지만, 지하수 수자원의 불확실성과 적정 관리의 어려움에서 기인하였다. 지하수는 유속이 매우 느리며 눈에 보이지 않기 때문에 지하수 과잉개발 및 오염 등에 취약하다는 단점이 있는 것이 사실이다. 그러나 지하수자원을 활용하지 않고 무작정 보존하기 보다는 많은 연구개발을 통하여 지속가능한 수자원으로 활용하는 것이 더 바람직하다. 해안에 위치한 지하수개발관정의 경우 바닷물이 대수층을 통해 침투하여 지하수관정을 오염시키는 경우가 발생한다. 해안지하수의 주된 오염 원인은 과잉양수로 해수침투를 야기한 결과이다. 이러한 경우 수질을 회복하기까지 수년이 걸리게 되며, 그동안 취수원으로서의 가치를 상실하게 된다. 또한 최근에는 기후변화의 영향으로 해수면상승에 따른 해수침투길이가 길어져 기존의 해안지역 지하수의 오염위험성이 더욱 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 이러한 이유로 국내외에서 해안지하수 개발에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 많은 해안지하수 수치해석연구에서는 해안경계에 평균해수면(MSL)이 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 조위변화가 지하수위 및 해수침투에 끼치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다.

The application of appropriate rehabilitation methods can improve the efficiency of clogged wells and extend their life. In this paper, we study the feasibility of well cleaning using high-voltage pulsed discharge, in which electrical energy is used to produce impulsive pressure in water, in contrast to conventional methods that employ chemical or pneumatic energy sources. This technique utilizes the compressive shock wave generated by the expansive force of hot, dense plasma that is produced during a pulsed discharge in the gap between electrodes immersed in water. Compared with conventional techniques, this method is simple, and easy to handle and control. Using a capacitive pulsed power system with an electrical energy of 200 J, an impulsive pressure of 10.7 MPa is achieved at the position 6 cm away from the discharge gap. The amplitude of the impulsive pressure was easily controlled by adjusting the charging voltage of the capacitor and was almost linearly proportional to peak discharge current. The technique achieved good results in cleaning feasibility tests with mock-up specimens similar to clogged well screens.

We measured the concentrations of natural radionuclides (uranium and radon) and major elements in groundwater collected from forty wells located in Wonju area to investigate the hydrochemistry and the occurrence of these radionuclides. The range of electrical conductivity (EC) value in the study area was 73~400 μS/cm. In addition to the increase of EC value, the content of cations and anions also tends to increase. Uranium concentrations ranged from 0.06~50.5 ㎍/L (median value, 1.55 ㎍/L) and radon concentrations ranged from 67~8,410 pCi/L (median value, 1,915 pCi/L). Uranium concentrations in 3 well, 7.5% of the samples, exceeded 30 ㎍/L, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) proposed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), based on the chemical toxicity of uranium. Radon concentrations in 9 wells, 22.5% of the samples, and 1 well, 2.2% of the samples, exceeded 4,000 pCi/L (AMCL of the US EPA) and 8,100 pCi/L (Finland's guideline level), respectively. Concentrations of uranium and radon related to geology of the study area showd the highest values in groundwater of the biotite granite area. Uranium and radon contents in the groundwater are comparatively low compared to those in other countries with similar geological settings. It is likely that the measured value was lower than the actual content due to the inflow of shallow groundwater by the lack of casing and grouting.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the features of groundwater use to utilize as basic information for water-cycle analysis system development and effective groundwater management in the Kap-cheon basin. The cumulative relationship between groundwater use and the number of wells was analyzed to estimate the representative total groundwater use and the number of wells for the Kap-cheon basin. Then, the spatial distribution of groundwater use in the basin were figured out using the detailed information on groundwater use in each well. Finally, the reasonability of groundwater resources management in Kap-cheon basin was evaluated by comparing groundwater recharge and groundwater use in sub-basins and major stream basins. The results of the analysis showed about 25% of the total wells could represent 90% of groundwater use ($37,923,516\;m^3$/year) in the Kap-cheon basin. A detailed analysis on the groundwater uses in the vicinity of down-town areas of Daejeon metropolitan city showed high groundwater uses ($1.4{\sim}11.1$ times) compared to the groundwater recharge previously estimated using the rainfall-runoff model. The ratio of groundwater use and groundwater recharge for the major river basins in Kap-cheon basin ranged from 1.9 to 2.3 indicating that more sustainable groundwater management should be exercised. The results of this study can be used as basic information in evaluating the change of groundwater flow, stream flow and water-cycle for various groundwater uses in the Kap-cheon basin.

In this work applicability of a sharp-interface model to well-scale problems is examined. In coastal areas one of the main concerns in groundwater development is saltwater intrusion. To determine the saltwater intrusion at a well one needs to evaluate the saltwater content from a pumping well. We conducted laboratory sand-tank experiments to determine if a sharp-interface model can simulate the saltwater content of a pumping well. Lateral saltwater intrusion experiments and freshwater lens experiments are conducted. A partially penetrating well and a fully penetrating well are used. Comparison between numerical results and observation results indicates that the sharp-interface model can determine saltwater contents reasonably well. We conclude that a sharp-interface model can be applied to well-scale groundwater flow problems in coastal areas.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the change of groundwater and its effect to hydraulic head or parameter sensitivity in order to predict the effect of a new groundwater well using MODFLOW. With the downstream area of the Jun stream basin in the Donghae city, two condition were simulated; (i) First simulation condition is to simulate natural steady-state and the groundwater heads for observation wells are calibrated. After the calibration, existing wells are simulated to find out the pure effect of the next simulation condition, (ii) Secondly, the design wells are planed and simulated for the solution of water shortage problem at Donghae city. As a result of the simulation, the maximum drawdown which is approximately 0.35m occurs in layer 1. This represents that there is no intrusion of salty water and the design plan is acceptable. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of each parameter in MODFLOW is accomplished. We found out that the sensitive parameters are initial head, anisotropic factor, hydraulic conductivity, and general head boundary

The occurrence of natural radionuclides like uranium and radon in groundwater was hydrochemically examined based on 40 well groundwaters in Mungyeong area. The range of electrical conductivity (EC) value in the study area was $68{\sim}574{\mu}S/cm$. In addition to the increase of EC value, the content of cations and anions also tends to increase. Uranium concentrations ranged from $0.03{\sim}169{\mu}g/L$ (median value, $0.82{\mu}g/L$) and radon concentrations ranged from 70~30,700 pCi/L (median value, 955 pCi/L). Only 1 out of 40 wells (2.5%) showed uranium concentration exceeding the maximum contaminant level (MCL; $30{\mu}g/L$) proposed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Radon concentrations of eight wells (20%) exceeded AMCL(Alternative maximum contaminant level) of the US EPA (4,000 pCi/L). Four out of those eight wells even exceeded Finland's guideline level (8,100 pCi/L). When concentrations of uranium and radon were investigated in terms of geology, the highest values are generally associated with granite. The uranium and radon levels observed in this study are low in comparison to those of other countries with similar geological settings. It is likely that the measured value was lower than the actual content due to the inflow of shallow groundwater by the lack of casing and grouting.

This paper designs and implements the management system that can calibrate the contamination vulnerability of the ground water, using an object oriented data model. Geographic-objects are specified by features extracted from an applicable geographic domain, and geographic-fields are defined by chemical factors extracted from each driven water. To show the topological relationships among the geographic-objects and the geographic-fields, this paper attach the weight and the ratio of the drastic model to chemical factors represented on the land use digital map and the ground water digital map. The geographic feature class, administrative boundary class, land use class and driven water class consist of a class composition hierarchy for evaluating the convenient contamination vulnerability calibration with spatial relationships among the well objects. Therefore, this management system for evaluating the contamination vulnerability can also contribute to the application of other natural environments.
