Abstract

Language:

The study investigates the environmental impact of a low-level radioactive sludge repository on surrounding soils, groundwater, and surface waters through a combination of on-site observations, experimental data, and thermodynamic modeling. The primary objective was to evaluate the efficiency of natural geochemical barriers in preventing uranium release from the repository. The methodology included detailed assessments of uranium transfer and accumulation in various environmental matrices, revealing significant findings regarding uranium's predominant carbonate form in surrounding soils. Additionally, the concentration of uranium in adjacent rocks was determined to range from 120 to 300 g t–1. The research highlights the operational history of the sludge repository at the Novosibirsk Plant of Chemical Concentrates since 1954 and its implications for decommissioning practices. The developed geochemical model serves as a foundation for future quantitative predictions related to the conservation of radioactive waste repositories, emphasizing the necessity for precise determinations of decommissioning timelines and strategies for managing clarified slurry fractions and technogenic-natural deposits.
