Strontium Distribution Coefficients of Basalt and Sediment Infill Samples from211 the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho

摘要

The U.S. Geological Survey and Idaho State University, in cooperation with the211u001eU.S. Department of Energy, are conducting a study to determine and evaluate 211u001estrontium distribution coefficients (K(sub d)s) of subsurface materials at the 211u001eIdaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The purpose of 211u001ethis study is to aid in assessing the variability of strontium (K(sub d)s) at the 211u001eINEEL as part of an ongoing investigation of chemical transport of strontium-90 211u001ein the Snake River Plain aquifer. Batch experimental techniques were used to 211u001edetermine (K(sub d)s) of six basalt core samples, five samples of sediment infill 211u001eof vesicles and fractures, and six standard material samples.
