Evaluation of Sedimentary Structure Near the Advanced Test Reactor Complex at the Idaho National Laboratory

  • 1. Idaho National Lab. (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)

Description

An analysis of relevant sediment stratigraphy near Idaho National Laboratory's Advanced Test Reactor Complex in support of the proposed remote-handled low-level waste disposal facility is presented. The scope of analysis includes a geostatistical evaluation of sedimentary interbed top elevations and thicknesses compiled for wells near the Advanced Test Reactor Complex from land surface to the elevation of the water table. It also includes an evaluation of expected sediment texture and composition based on information contained in existing reports. Finally, based on this analysis, recommendations for characterization well spacing and appropriate transport model dimensionality are made.
