Abstract

The migration behaviour with respect to retardation by sorption of radioactive Ce, Cs, I, Nb, Ru, Sm, Sr, Tc and Zr in fluviatile and aeolian sand aquifers has been examined in laboratory tests. In these tests it was attempted to simulate the natural conditions of the field. The tests were performed as batch and column experiments. The results of both types of experimental procedures agree within the error limits and show

- small sorption for I− and TcO4−

- medium sorption for Sr2+

- high sorption for Cs+, Ce3+, Sm3+, Ru4+, Zr4+ and Nb5+

The investigations will be continued with other geologic materials from the same site.
