Updated Groundwater Flow Simulations of the Savannah River Site General Separations Area
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
The groundwater flow model supporting Performance Assessments (PAs) and Composite Analyses (CAs) at the Savannah River Site was significantly revised in 2016 and 2017 using new hydrostratigraphic surfaces, updated well water level calibration targets, and semi-automated model calibration with the PEST optimization code. This model is referred to as “GSA_2016”. This report documents further refinement of the GSA_2016 model in 2018 to incorporate updates to model calibration targets, closure of the H-Area Ash Basin, construction of E-Area Slit Trench operational covers, and plume information from the Mixed Waste Management Facility and Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility. Another objective was to lower hydraulic head residuals by adding another calibration zone. The resulting model is referred to as “GSA_2018”.
