Abstract

Modelling of radionuclide transport in the geosphere is a key issue of the evaluation of safety of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) repositories. In Bulgaria, due to the operation of Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), a building of such facility is ongoing. The migration of 90Sr was evaluated by simulation of flow and chemical modelling, performed with coupled numerical code HP1. The adsorption properties of the clays were implemented in the code by surface complexation reactions between strontium and iron oxides. The results were compared with another model performed with computer code HYDRUS 1-D, in which the adsorption properties of the medium were evaluated with the relevant for strontium distribution coefficient, Kd.
