Evaluation of isotope migration: land burial. Water chemistry at commerically operated low-level radioactive waste disposal sites. Progress report No. 5, April--June 1977. [Maxey Flats, Kentucky]
Water samples were collected from ten trenches at the Maxey Flats (Morehead) Kentucky, low-level radioactive waste disposal site and analyzed for the presence of organic compounds. Identification of the organics was achieved by combined gas chromatography--mass spectrometry. Alcohols, aliphatic and aromatic acids, phthalates, adipates, and tributyl phosphate are the predominant kinds of compounds found in most of the trench water samples. These organic compounds may react with the radionuclides buried in the trenches and possibly affect their mobility in the environment.
