In this paper, a methodology that can be employed to simulate radionuclide migration through unsaturated soils, under laboratory conditions, has been developed and reported. This was achieved with the help of a specially designed half-cell setup to study diffusion characteristics of inactive forms of Cs+, Sr+2 and Co+2 in two different types of soils, corresponding to their different compaction states. The results indicate that the apparent diffusion coefficient strongly depends on the volumetric water content of the soil. However, the increase of the apparent diffusion coefficient for higher volumetric water contents is found to be much less as compared to the lower volumetric water contents. This research contributes to understanding the behavior of radionuclides in unsaturated soils, which is essential for assessing environmental impacts of radioactive waste disposal and contaminant transport in soil systems.
