Uranium Contamination in the Subsurface Beneath the 300 Area, Hanford Site, Washington.

DE2008925719

Publication Date	2008
Personal Author	Peterson, R. E.; Rockhold, M. L.; Serne, R. J.; Thorne, P. D.
Page Count	226
Abstract	This report provides a description of uranium contamination in the subsurface at the Hanford Site's 300 Area. The principal focus is a persistence plume in groundwater, which has not attenuated as predicted by earlier remedial investigations. Included in the report are chapters on current conditions, hydrogeologic framework, groundwater flow modeling, and geochemical considerations. The report is intended to describe what is known or inferred about the uranium contamination for the purpose of making remedial action decisions.
