This document presents a water and solute (uranium and plutonium) travel analysis of the potential for residual radiological materials to impact groundwater at select Soils Activity sites. These sites comprise the following corrective action units (CAUs): CAU 375, Area 30 Buggy Unit Craters [Buggy and Test Cell A (TCA) sites], CAU 411, Double Tracks Plutonium Dispersion (Nellis), CAU 412, Clean Slate I Plutonium Dispersion (TTR), CAU 413, Clean Slate II Plutonium Dispersion (TTR), CAU 414, Clean Slate III Plutonium Dispersion (TTR), CAU 415, Project 57 No. 1 Plutonium Dispersion (NAFR). The scope of this document is limited to these CAUs because the radionuclide inventories from the experiments conducted at these sites are not accounted for in the source term for the current Underground Test Area (UGTA) groundwater CAUs. Thus, this analysis was necessary to determine the time frame of potential impacts to groundwater by radionuclide contamination from these CAUs.
