Description

The paper presents the results of the analysis of a radionuclide migration in the hypothetical event of leakage from the waste storage facilities at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development, based upon finite element modelling of the groundwater flow system and approximate analytical modelling of radionuclide transport. The approximate analytical model incorporates a finite element method and Laplace's transformations, which results in a relatively simple analytical relationship for evaluating the radionuclide transport in groundwater. The two-dimensional parametric analyses were carried out to assess the effects of geochemical retardation, radioactive decay and dispersivity on the 90Sr migration patterns
