AbstractAbstract
[en] The special wasteform lysimeters at the Savannah River Laboratory are designed to measure the migration of radionuclides from commercial power reactor wasteforms under unsaturated conditions in a humid site. Operation of the lysimeters under field conditions allows prediction of the behavior of solid low-level wasteforms (concrete and polymer) in actual burial trenches. Analysis of the percolate water from the lysimeters has been performed regularly since emplacement of the waste in March 1982. Co-60 and Sr-90 have migrated through the soil to the sumps. Cs-137 has been detected only in water collected from the soil column and has not yet migrated to the sumps. The results of this unsaturated leaching can be compared to the performance of identical wasteforms in saturated leach tests. 3 references, 1 figure, 3 tables
