Modeling radionuclide migration from underground nuclear explosions
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The travel time of radionuclide gases to the ground surface in fracture rock depends on many complex factors. Numerical simulators are the most complete repositories of knowledge of the complex processes governing radionuclide gas migration to the ground surface allowing us to verify conceptualizations of physical processes against observations and forecast radionuclide gas travel times to the ground surface and isotopic ratios
