Geochemical factors affecting radionuclide transport through near and far fields at a Low-Level Waste Disposal Site
- Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
- Westinghouse Hanford Co., Richland, WA (United States)
The concentration of low-level waste (LLW) contaminants in groundwater is determined by the amount of contaminant present in the solid waste, rate of release from the waste and surrounding barriers, and a number of geochemical processes including adsorption, desorption, diffusion, precipitation, and dissolution. To accurately predict radionuclide transport through the subsurface, it is essential that the important geochemical processes affecting radionuclide transport be identified and, perhaps more importantly, accurately quantified and described in a mathematically defensible manner.
