Title: Chapter II.C Transport of Radionuclides through Soil and Ground Water

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/786316· OSTI ID:786316

The purpose of this report is to provide a clearer perspective of the impact of radionuclides in soil and groundwater, particularly for those not well-versed in soil science, hydrology, and geology. Through nuclear waste disposal or accidents, radionuclides come in contact with soil and groundwater. Man is exposed to radiation as a result of movement (or transport) of the radionuclides into his environment. Water is the principal carrier that induces transport, but chemical characteristics of soil inhibit the transport.
