Laboratory and Modeling Evaluations in Support of Field Testing for Desiccation at the Hanford Site

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1009749· OSTI ID:1009749
The Deep Vadose Zone Treatability Test Plan for the Hanford Central Plateau includes testing of the desiccation technology as a potential technology to be used in conjunction with surface infiltration control to limit the flux of technetium and other contaminants in the vadose zone to the groundwater. Laboratory and modeling efforts were conducted to investigate technical uncertainties related to the desiccation process and its impact on contaminant transport. This information is intended to support planning, operation, and interpretation of a field test for desiccation in the Hanford Central Plateau.
