Applied Science Investigations to Facilitate Closure of the F-Area and H-Area Seepage Basins
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
This report provides a roadmap of applied science studies that will facilitate reaching long term monitoring end state corrective actions for groundwater contamination at the F-Area Seepage Basins and the H-Area Seepage Basins at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC. The F-Area and H-Area Seepage Basins are waste units on the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC at which low-level radioactive solutions were disposed into unlined basins, resulting in groundwater contamination. The current contaminants of interest in the groundwater are tritium, iodine-129, strontium-90, uranium isotopes and nitrate. Remediation at both sites has continued since 1988, consisting of closure and capping of the basins, operation of a groundwater pump-and-treat system from 1997 to 2004, and replacement of this system with a comprehensive in situ attenuation-based remedy. This report was requested by the U.S. Department of Energy - Office of Environmental Management in consultation with the Savannah River National Laboratory and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions - Area Completions Projects to provide a scientific basis for proactively addressing groundwater issues that may need to be resolved prior to final corrective actions at the F-Area and H-Area Seepage Basins.
