ABSTRACTModels of groundwater flow and transport are routinely used as part of the safety assessment of a site, and increasingly to aid the site investigation strategy and design of a proposed repository. This emphasis puts greater demands on those models to reflect a higher level of realism to incorporate additional information in the vicinity of the repository. This paper describes a successful approach to incorporate these different scales, from canister- to regional-scale, within one model. Such an approach is able to resolve the details of groundwater flow around the waste packages in the overall hydrological setting of the site.

The theme of this special issue is to explore the new territories beyond conventional subsurface flow and transport theories. We have selected 12 articles in this special issue and these articles cover a wide range of problems including (1) Non-Fickian chemical transport in various environments; (2) Non-Darcian flow; (3) Flow and transport in low-permeability media; (4) Vadose zone process; (5) Regional scale groundwater flow and groundwater-surface interaction; (6) Innovative numerical methods. The major contributions of these papers are summarized in this editorial.

Specific Safety

It is important for establishment of safety assessment techniques of geological disposal to understand groundwater flow and solute transport accurately. Therefore, we are positioning to confirm an applicability of the techniques in realistic environment as a crucial issue in R&D. We have attempted and planed some relevant studies as below: - A methodology to integrate activities from site investigations to evaluation of solute transport was examined. We have carried out groundwater flow analysis on a regional scale using geological and hydrological information from surface-based investigations at the Horonobe area, and also solute transport analysis based on the information of the trajectory analysis. - We have carried out a preliminary simulation of groundwater flow and salinity concentration distribution using information on climatic and sea-level changes, and evolution of geological structures considering the impacts of natural events and processes. Consequently, we could outline the impacts of natural events and processes on geological environment including hydrogeology, hydrochemistry and their evolutions. - We have been planning to develop and apply a methodology of groundwater flow and solute transport analysis to the shallow part, the Horonobe coastal area and around the URL. These techniques would become a basis for future site specific safety assessment in Japan.
