PORFLOW Modeling of Vadose Zone Flow and Transport for the E- Area Low Activity Waste Vault
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
In support of the E-Area Performance Assessment, a two-dimensional model of water flow and radionuclide transport through the E-Area Low Activity Waste Vault (LAWV) and local vadose zone has been developed using the PORFLOWTM software. The purpose of the model is to calculate flux to the water table for radionuclides eluted from the LAWV during its operational life, the period of institutional control, and times following site closure. Results of model calculations will be used by a three-dimensional PORFLOW model of transport through the aquifer to determine radionuclide concentrations at a hypothetical 100 meter well and at the site boundary where contaminated groundwater could be accessed by members of the public following site closure.
