Hydrogeological conditions are crucial for the site selection and long-term safety assessment of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal repositories. This study focuses on the groundwater circulation characteristics of Xinchang preselected site and its southern periphery of the Beishan area for HLW disposal. A comprehensive approach employing multiple environmental isotopes, hydrodynamics, and numerical modelling was used to investigate groundwater circulation within the study area. Results indicated that groundwater in shallow loose sediments exhibited relatively rapid renewal rates, with an average age generally less than 30 years. The apparent 14C age of deep bedrock groundwater generally exceeding 10 ka within the underground research laboratory (URL) site. There was no evidence of contributions from deep crustal or mantle sources to groundwater within the region. Within the Xinchang site, the groundwater head shows pronounced vertical stratification, with a higher hydraulic head in shallow zones than in deeper ones. Groundwater in boreholes distant from the gully shows weak hydraulic connectivity with precipitation, and the groundwater level often exhibits periodic fluctuations. The groundwater flow systems can be categorized into three types: regional, intermediate, and local. The local flow system was the most active, accounting for over 80 % of the total flux. These characteristics showed that the hydrogeological conditions in the study area were favorable for the geological disposal of HLW.
