This quarterly report presents Los Alamos National Laboratory contributions to the Waste/Rock Interactions Technology program, Tasks 3 and 4, for the first quarter of FY-1981. Much of the activity during the first quarter of FY-1981 involved sorption studies needed to continue studies of sorption isotherms and the effect of solution-to-solid ratios and to continue measurements of migration rates in crushed, fractured, and porous materials. Results from batch measurements of the element-concentration dependence of sorption ratios for cesium, strontium, barium, and europium on Climax Stock granite and Eleana argillite were reported earlier. The studies have now been extended to cerium on argillite and granite and to plutonium on granite and results are reported.
