Understanding Contaminant Migration Within a Dynamic River Corridor Through Field Experiments and Reactive Transport Modeling

Understanding Contaminant Migration Within a Dynamic River Corridor Through Field Experiments and Reactive Transport Modeling

The behavior of a persistent uranium plume within an extended river corridor at the DOE Hanford site is dominantly controlled by river stage fluctuations in the adjacent Columbia River. The plume behavior is further complicated by substantial heterogeneity in physical and geochemical properties of t...
