RADIOACTIVITY, INCLUDING OCCURRENCE/FATE/TRANSPORT AND REMEDIATION/RESTORATION GROUNDWATER WITH CASE HISTORY EXAMPLE FROM U.S. DOE FACILITIES

Information concerning the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hazardous waste/groundwater contauttination concerns and interactions (U.S. DOE, 1990b) within the National Laboratory complexes have been presented in Chapter 3. A discussion on radioactivity [URL Ref. No. 3041 and remediatiodrestoration [URL Ref. No. 285, 3031 concerns at these DOE facilities is now presented in this chapter, and at the end is presented a general summary on information concerning subsurface occurrence/fate/transport of groundwater (U.S. DOE, 1993a) [URL Ref. No. 3021. The U.S. DOE facilities (i.e., with emphasis on Los Alamos National Laboratory) [URL Ref. No. 97, 101, 2881, again as in Chapter 3, are used as case history models to be able to present a discussion that can be extrapolated to non-DOE areas.
