Laboratory studies of radionuclide distributions between selected groundwaters and geologic media. Progress report, April 1-June 30, 1981
- comps.
This quarterly report presents Los Alamos National Laboratory contributions to the Waste/Rock Interactions Technology program, Tasks 3 and 4, for the third quarter of FY-1981. Most of the activity involved the extension of various studies of sorption phenomena and of migration in crushed, fractured, and porous materials. The elution of /sup 85/Sr and /sup 137/Cs was observed in flow through fractured Climax Stock (CS) granite. Tuff cores G1-1883, G1-1982, and G1-2901 from the USW-G1 hole at the Nevada Test Site have been loaded with groundwaters containing /sup 85/Sr, /sup 137/Cs, and /sup 133/Ba. The conductivity of the core will be determined after completion of the experiment to measure the fracture aperture. Studies are continuing in comparing actinide sorption measurements using batch, circulating system, and crushed-rock column methods. The elution of radionuclides from granite, argillite, and tuff crushed-rock columns is being investigated.
