Abstract
ABSTRACTWater samples from the disposal trenches of two low-level radioactive waste burial sites were analyzed for their inorganic, organic, and radionuclide contents. Since oxidation of the trench waters can occur during their movement along the groundwater flow path,experiments were performed to measure the chemical and physical changes that occur in these waters upon oxidation. In addition to the highly acidic conditions of the oxidized Maxey Flats trench water, low concentrations of chelating agents, shown to exist in trench waters, may be responsible for keeping radionuclides in solution following oxidation of anoxic trench leachates from Maxey Flats and West Valley burial sites.
