Modeling to Support Groundwater Contaminant Boundaries for the Shoal Underground Nuclear Test

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/850296· OSTI ID:850296
The purpose of this work is to characterize groundwater flow and contaminant transport at the Shoal underground nuclear test through numerical modeling using site-specific hydrologic data. The ultimate objective is the development of a contaminant boundary, a model-predicted perimeter defining the extent of radionuclide-contaminated groundwater from the underground test throughout 1,000 years at a prescribed level of confidence. This boundary will be developed using the numerical models described here, after they are approved for that purpose by DOE and NDEP.
