متن کاملGeochemical Factors Affecting the Behavior of Antimony, Cobalt, Europium, Technetium, and Uranium in Vadose Sediments
In developing the Field Investigation Report for the Waste Management Area S-SX at the Hanford Site, Cs was the only gamma emitting radionuclide of concern (Knepp 2002). However, in WMA B-BX-BY, the spectral gamma logging data identify seven gamma emitting radionuclides, Cs, Sb, Eu, Eu, Co, U, and U (DOE-GJPO 1998). The geochemical behaviors of several of these radionuclides, Sb and the two eur...
متن کاملFate and Transport of Radionuclides Beneath the Hanford Tank Farms: Unraveling Coupled Geochemical and Hydrological Processes in the Vadose Zone
Although the accelerated transport of Tc, Cs, and U within the vadose zone beneath the 200-West Area of the Hanford tank-farm area has been recognized, the mechanisms responsible for the vertical migration of the radionuclides is unclear. Does horizontal stratification enchance the lateral movement of contaminants, which in turn enhances vertical perferential flow due to perched water dynamics?...
متن کاملColloid Genesis / Transport and Flow Pathway Alterations Resulting From Interactions of Reactive Waste Solutions and Hanford Vadose Zone Sediments
The Hanford Site was one of the DOE’s major nuclear weapons production sites from 1940 to 1989. Over time, 67 of the 149 single-shell tanks have leaked or are suspected of having leaked [1]. Contaminants such as Tc and U have been found in elevated concentrations in the vadose zone and groundwater beneath the single shell tank farms [2]. In order to make decisions on remedial actions, numerous ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic and diffraction study of uranium speciation in contaminated vadose zone sediments from the Hanford site, Washington state.
Contamination of vadose zone sediments under tank BX-102 at the Hanford site, Washington, resulted from the accidental release of 7-8 metric tons of uranium dissolved in caustic aqueous sludge in 1951. We have applied synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopic and diffraction techniques to characterize the speciation of uranium in samples of these contaminated sediments. UIII-edge X-ray absorption f...
