Microbial effects on radioactive wastes at SLB sites. [Shallow land burial]
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6725278
A significant fraction of DOE and commercially generated low-level radioactive waste consists of organic materials. These materials are subject to degradation by microorganisms present in the shallow land burial environment and may contribute to enhanced migration of radionuclides through the formation of gases, mobile complexes and bioaccumulation. This scanning study will determine the effects of microbial degradation at present disposal sites and their impact on shallow land burial performance criteria, trench construction and segregation of organic wastes. The main objective of this program is to determine the significant effects of microbial activities on shallow land burial (SLB). The program is in support of DOE/LLW Management program alpha milestones B, C, and D.
