Description

The migration behavior of 99Tc in natural single fractured granite media has been studied on a laboratory scale. A mathematical model is presented for numerical simulation of nuclide transport in natural single fractured granite media and solved by the Galerkin finite-element method. The main character of this paper lies in simulating two-dimension question by one-dimension model. The calculated concentration profile in the granite media and the break-through curves are in agreement with those experimentally measured and analytically calculated. Compared to actinide series and their daughters, the dose contribution of the 99Tc is much more, due to its long half life, t1/2=2.13E+5 yr.. It is an important radiation dangerous to human being [Liu Yuanfang, 1990]. And 99Tc was considered as one of the key nuclides in the studies of performance assessment of a geological repository. In this paper numerical simulation is combined with laboratory experiments in order to study migration behavior of nuclides in the natural single fractured granite media. (author)
