PROJEC T RIO BLANC O EVALUATION OF POSSIBLE RADIOACTIVITY TRANSPORT IN GROUNDWATER

摘要

The possibility of radioactivity transport in the groundwater system as the result of a hypothetical maximum credible gas leak following the Rio Blanco detonation was evaluated.nThis evaluation used the specific aquifer characteristics developed from tests in the emplacement well area, instead of the general basinal characteristics used in the initial calculations presented in the Environmental Impact Evaluation. (1)nThe present study confirms the low radiation levels in the groundwater predicted in the initial calculations.
