深層地質處置(Deep geological disposal)為國際公認適於處置高放射性廢棄物(high level radioactive waste, HLRW)的方式,將高放射性廢棄物埋於300-1000公尺之岩盤中,再配合工程及自然障壁系統加以阻絕,以換取足夠的時間,讓廢棄物產生的輻射強度在到達生物圈之間已衰減至可忽略的程度。而深層岩體之大地應力與地下水之水力性質會受到核廢料之高熱能作用後有顯著地影響。因此,使用熱力-水力-力學耦合(coupled T-H-M)的評估深層核廢料地質處置的安全性是必要的。
為重現Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2003)提出之TOUGH2-FLAC3D數值程序,本研究透過撰寫MATLAB資料互傳程式,將TOUGH2運算資料與FLAC3D做連結,來分析深層岩體之熱力-水力-力學之耦合行為。並藉由瑞典發表之技術報告(SKB, 1999)進行數值驗證,由驗證結果顯示本研究提出TOUGH2-FLAC3D耦合程序可成功地分析T-H-M的案例。為因應處置坑及處置隧道之複雜模型幾何,本研究特別撰寫轉換程式,其可將ANSYS網格調渡至FLAC3D使用,可有效且快速簡化FLAC3D劃分複雜網格的困難度。
本研究針對高放射性廢棄物之近場阻隔障壁系統,以T-H-M、T-H與純熱傳模式進行分析,先以簡化之單一處置坑,探討其緩衝材料溫度變化在T-H-M、T-H與純熱傳模式下之差異,以決定用何種模式進行分析為較保守的設計考量。其分析結果發現,由純熱傳模式得到之膨潤土頂部最高溫度皆高於T-H-M、T-H耦合模式約9%,若依較保守之處置場設計應可忽略水力和力學影響。在現實的處置隧道中,廢棄物罐的處置絕非單一存在,故需決定數值模擬時,至少需擺入多少的廢棄物罐數量,方使數值模擬更具備其代表性。假設一平行間隔40m之對稱雙處置隧道,並以每隧道中配置間距6m之5、7、9、11及13個廢棄物罐進行純熱傳分析,其分析結果顯示,配置7、9、11及13個之位於中間的廢棄物罐,其緩衝材最高溫度皆相同,故由此決定,對近場處置隧道進行數值分析時,至少需配置7個廢棄物罐才具代表性。接著,為探討我國緩衝材料(日興土)與他國(MX-80)之差異,同樣以平行40m之雙隧道,並配置7個廢棄物罐進行T-H-M、T-H、T之數值分析,其分析結果顯示,我國膨潤土(日興土)達到最高溫度97.7 oC大於他國膨潤土(MX-80)最高溫度93.36 oC,兩者發生最高溫差約4.34 oC,惟日興土在相同的處置環境下,其最高溫度逼近緩衝材100 oC之限制,故較MX-80些微劣之。
本研究以相同之幾何型式(7個廢棄物罐配置於平行40m之雙隧道),以各種母岩之熱傳性質及不同高放射性廢棄物罐之間距對緩衝材進行熱傳分析,並探討其溫度變化。最後將各間距之分析結果,進行整理並繪製一高放射性廢棄物罐之間距及緩衝材最高溫度對照圖以利產學界參考之。
"Deep geological disposal" is generally adopted worldwide for high level radioactive waste (HLRW) management. The spent nuclear fuel is encapsulated in a metal canister and then placed into an engineered facility within the bedrock at 300-1000 meters depth. Such a multiple barrier system, comprising both engineered and natural barriers, will efficiently retard the migration of radionuclides, long enough for them to decay to a safe level before reaching the biosphere. However, HLRW continues to emit heat for up to 100,000 years. Thus, thermal, hydro and mechanical (T-H-M) factors all have a potential effect on the long-term safety of the deposited waste.
This thesis links TOUGH2 and FLAC3D by MATLAB to perform coupled T-H-M analyses of underground nuclear waste repositories to reproduce the TOUGH2-FLAC3D numerical procedure proposed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2003). The proposed TOUGH2-FLAC3D coupled procedure is validated with the technical report presented by the SKB report (1999). The proposed TOUGH2-FLAC3D coupling routine can analysis coupled T-H-M case successfully. The geometry of disposal holes and disposal tunnels are complex. Consequently, a code is written to transfer the mesh produced by the ANSYS and converted to FLAC3D equivalents, transferred to a format data file, and then exported to FLAC3D.
The present study is focus on near-field isolation system of high level radioactive waste repository. The peak temperature obtained from the coupled T-H-M model at the top of the Bentonite buffer is compared with that obtained from a coupled T-H model and a Thermal model, respectively, for the case of a single disposal canister. The results show Thermal model yields the most conservative estimate of the peak temperature of the three simulation models. Hence, hydro and mechanical effects should be ignored for conservative design of the repository. However, in practice, multiple canisters may be stored within a single disposal tunnel. Moreover, a single repository may comprise multiple disposal tunnels. It is essential to determine the number of canisters which should be considered when performing numerical simulations in planning the safe layout of a real-world repository. After that the repository is assumed to have 2 parallel and symmetrical tunnels and the spacing between adjacent disposal tunnels is specified as 40 m. 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 canisters, with 6 m spacing, are placed within each disposal tunnel for Thermal model analysis. The results show the peak temperatures at the top of the Bentonite buffer are the same for 7 or more canisters (i.e., 9, 11 and 13). In other words, when using the most conservative model (the Thermal-model), a simulation model consisting of 7 canisters in a tunnel is sufficient to investigate the effect of the deposited canisters on the local rock temperature distribution. Afterwards, T-H-M, T-H and Thermal models are performed using a domestic buffer material (Zhisin clay) to investigate the different peak temperature between foreign buffer material (MX-80) with same geometry (7 canisters emplaced within 2 parallel and symmetrical tunnels and the spacing between adjacent tunnels is 40 m). The results show the peak temperature is found to reach a value of 97.7 oC at the top of the Zhisin clay which is higher than that of the MX-80 (93.36 oC). The peak temperature at the top of the Zhisin clay is very close to the maximum permissible value of 100 oC.
The research uses the same geometry (model consisting of 7 canisters in 2 parallel and symmetrical tunnels with the disposal tunnels sapcing fixed at 40 m) and with varies thermal conductivity of the host rock and different spacing between each canister to investigate the the temperature variations. Finally, the results are plotted in the canisters pacing-peak buffer temperature chart which can be used as a reference for the layout of a nuclear waste repository.
