【 摘 要 】

Objective: The primary goals of this project are to (1) quantify the kinetics and thermodynamics of dominant mineral dissolution and precipitation reactions considered to result in significant uptake of contaminants upon mixing of leaked tank fluids and Hanford soil and soil solutions; (2) quantify the kinetics of subsequent reactions that might enhance the mobility of the contaminants; and, (3) quantify the uptake of radionuclide contaminants in the secondary precipitates.
