Cylindrical samples of the Tshirege member of the Bandelier tuff were tested for adsorption of radioactive nuclides from waste solutions containing Pu- 239, Cs-137, or Sr-90, as well as mixtures of these. In addition, observations on leaching were made. Cs-137 and Pu-239 were readily retained by the tuff; however, the Pu-239 can be released by a subsequent discharge of solutions such as versene. Sr-90 was not retained by the tuff nearly as well as the other nuclides tested and was more easily released. (J.R.D.)
