Subseabed Disposal Program chemical response studies. Annual report, October 1981-September 1982
- ed.
Studies of the chemical response of deep-sea sediments to a subseabed repository for high-level radioactive waste continued during FY 1982. Both near-field and far-field geochemical investigations are described in this report. Most of the research this year, as in the past, was conducted with red clay from the PAC II study area 1500 km north of Hawaii. The results of all studies carried out imply that oxidized red clay would form a highly effective barrier to radionuclides that form cationic species, but anionic radionuclides would begin to escape from the sediment to the overlying water column on the order of thousands of years after emplacement. Studies with Pacific red clay will continue in FY 1983. 31 references, 8 figures, 3 tables.
