Evaluation of the Non-Transient Hydrologic Source Term from the CAMBRIC Underground Nuclear Test in Frenchman Flat, Nevada Test Site

摘要

Hydrologic Source Term (HST) calculations completed in 1998 at the CAMBRIC underground nuclear test site were Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL's) first attempt to simulate a hydrologic source term at the NTS by linking groundwater flow and transport modeling with geochemical modeling. Significant effort was applied to develop a framework that modeled in detail the flow regime and captured all appropriate chemical processes that occurred over time. However, portions of the calculations were simplified because of data limitations and a perceived need for generalization of the results.
