Summary
Approximately 2,000 m³ of liquid containing radioactive and chemical wastes leaked from the 241-T-106 single-shell tank at the Hanford Site. The leak discharged into the unsaturated, coarse-grained sediments of the Hanford formation which underlie the base of the tank. The PORFLO-3 computer code was used to study plume migration for ¹°⁶Ru and ¹³⁷Cs. The flow and transport properties of the soils through which the plume has migrated are critical input data for the model but are not available. Information from a catalogue of Hanford Site soil properties was used. The transient magnitudes and locations of the plume were simulated in three dimensions. Using the reduced vertical hydraulic conductivity, the migration of ¹°⁶Ru and ¹³⁷Cs was simulated for the time between 1973 and 1990. 24 refs., 33 figs., 3 tabs.
