Low Level Radioactive Waste

ABSTRACTBritish Nuclear Fuels ple has initiated an experimental programme to measure the leaching behaviour of radionuclides from various low level radioactive waste (LLW) mareials using Lysimeters. The programme commenced in 1986 and to date 10 lysimeters have been commissioned. These have concentrated on simulating shallow trench conditions but a further programme is now planned to study concrete vault environments. The aim of the study is to provide information on leaching processes as part of the ongoing Drigg Near Field Programme, and also to yield input data for radiological assessment purposes. Towards this end, data have been gained from the lysimeters on basic chemistry, gas generation and radionuclide Release Coefficients. This paper concentrates on one of the lysimeters which has recently been decommissioned and for which interim analytical data are available. Some general comments are given on BNFL's experience using lysimeters and their applicability as a rapid and effective technique for studying near field degradation processes.
