In situ and laboratory tests were carried out for investigating the Excavation Disturbed Zone(EDZ) generated from blasting at the KAERI Underground Research Tunnel(KURT), which is for the researches related to High-level radioactive waste disposal program. It was found that the EDZ was generated more than In from the laboratory rock tests and in situ experiments. RQD of the rock mass within $0{\sim}2(m)$, where the blasting impact was significant, was 17% lower than in the deeper zones without a serious blasting impact. It was also estimated that the deformability of rock mass was reduced about 40% after the blasting.

본 연구는 지하처분연구시설(URT : Underground Research Tunnel)시설 건설공사와 관련하여 굴착 후의 지하수유동체계 변화를 예측하기 위하여 수행되었다. 지하수유동체계 모사를 위해 사용된 모델은 연속체 매질 개념의 Visual Modflow이며, URT 주변의 시추공에서 조사된 자료를 초기 입력자료로 이용하였다. 1단계 터널굴착 후에 계측된 지하수위 및 터널 내 지하수 유입량을 토대로 모델교정을 수행하였고, 교정된 모델을 이용하여 2단계 터널굴착 후의 지하수유동체계를 예측하였다. 1단계 굴착 후 약 4.3m의 수위강하가 발생한 KP-2번공은 2단계 굴착 후에는 약 0.05m의 수위강하가 예측되었다. 또한 2단계 굴착 후의 지하수위는 터널 입구를 기준으로 약 108m지점부터 터널 종점부 175m까지는 터널 상부에 분포하며, 종점부 175m지점에서는 지하수위가 터널 천장(roof)부로부터 약 12.7m 상부에 위치하는 것으로 예측되었다. 지하수위의 강하범위는 터널 중심부로부터 반경 약 300m까지 발생되는 것으로 예측되었고, 예상 지하수 유입량은 24.7ton/day로 1단계 공사 후보다. 약 2.7ton/day 증가하며, 공동굴착 전 터널 중심부의 지하수가 지표까지 도달하는 시간은 약 39.8년이 소요되는 것으로 나타났다.

To characterize geological features in study area for high-level radioactive waste disposal research, KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has been performing the several geological investigations such as geophysical surveys and borehole drilling since 1997. Especially, the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) constructed to understand the deep geological environments in 2006. Recently, the deep borehole of 500 m depths was drilled to confirm and validate the geological model at the left research module of the KURT. The objective of this research was to identify the geological structures around KURT using the data obtained from the deep borehole investigation. To achieve the purpose, several geological investigations such as geophysical and borehole fracture surveys were carried out simultaneously. As a result, 7 fracture zones were identified in deep borehole located in the KURT. As one of important parts of site characterization on KURT area, the results will be used to revise the geological model of the study area.

The Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute is currently planning the construction of an Underground Research Tunnel to carry out research and development related to the disposal of high-level wastes from nuclear reactors used to generate electrical power. This paper discusses the excavation methods used to construct the Canadian Underground Research Laboratory and their application in planning for the construction of a similar underground laboratory and eventually an underground repository for high-level wastes in Korea.
