Groundwater sampling, analysis and results for the Needle`s Eye natural analogue site

Abstract

HMIP has a research programme investigating some naturally radioactive sites in the UK as geochemical analogues of radionuclide migration. The objective is to test thermodynamic databases and computer codes used for modelling radionuclide migration under environmental conditions. This report details a study of the geochemistry of the groundwaters in the vicinity of pitchblende veins outcropping in the cliff at Needle`s Eye on the Solway Coast, SW Scotland. The report describes a comprehensive water sampling and analysis programme and discusses the hydrochemical characteristics of the site and the controlling factors. The report provides a valuable compilation of data for modelling the migration of U and other elements in the groundwaters and surface waters flowing through the Merse sediments. (Author).
