The Field Lysimeter Investigations: Low-Level Waste Data Base Development Program is obtaining information on the performance of radioactive waste in a disposal environment. Waste forms fabricated using ion-exchange resins from EPICOR-II are being tested to develop a low-level waste data base and to obtain information on survivability of waste forms in a disposal environment. The program includes examining radionuclide releases from waste forms in the first seven years of sampling. Also, lysimeter data are applied to performance assessment source term models, and initial results from use of data in two models are being studied.
