A series of experiments for a simplified system has been performed to evaluate a near-field model of radioactive waste repository developed by the University of California, Berkeley. In the experiments, iodine as nonsorbing species and cesium as sorbing species were employed. This paper presents the initial 200-day results of these experiments. Good agreement is found between the model and the experimental results. The results of this work will give basic ideas on the design of the near field of a repository.
