Abstract

To assess the suitability of host rocks for disposal of radioactive wastes, charnockite rock formation of Kalpakkam area is being investigated for geological, hydrogeological and geo-chemical characteristics. The site under study is surrounded by three saline water bodies viz. by Bay of Bengal in the east, back waters in the south and Buckingham canal in the west. Systematic water sampling of the ground water in two bore holes upto 100 m depth drilled in the area has revealed that there is a certain trend of salinity variation in the aquifer. The inferences drawn from the study would assist in choosing the suitable zones for disposal of radioactive wastes. (author). 5 refs., 3 figs.
