EQ3/6: status and applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:59366
EQ3/6 is a set of related computer codes and data files for use in geochemical modeling of aqueous systems. The creation of EQ3/6 began in 1975, for the purpose of modeling the reaction of sea water and basalt in mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems. EQ3/6 has since been adopted for further development and application to problems in geologic disposal of high-level nuclear waste by both the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI, tuff repository program) and the Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI, salt repository program). The code package is currently operational at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, other US national laboratories, several universities, and in private industry.
