Radionuclide migration model for buried waste at the Savannah River Plant

  • 1. E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Savannah River Lab., Aiken, SC

Description

Solid waste has been buried at the Savannah River Plant burial ground since 1953. The solid waste is contaminated with alpha-emitting transuranium (TRU) nuclides, with beta-gamma-emitting activation and fission products, and with tritium. To provide guidance for the current use and eventual permanent retirement of the burial site from active service, a radionuclide environmental transport model has been used to project the potential influence on man if the burial site were occupied after decommissioning
