Simulation of radionuclide retardation at Yucca Mountain using a stochastic mineralogical/geochemical model

Conference ·
OSTI ID:137861

This paper presents preliminary transport calculations for radionuclide movement at Yucca Mountain using preliminary data for retardation parameter distributions based on mineral distributions. Several different realizations of spatially distributed sorption coefficients are used to study the sensitivity of radionuclide migration to uncertainties in this retardation parameter. Transport calculations for a representation radionuclide cation, {sup 135}Cs, and anion, {sup 99}T{sub c}, are presented.
