Creator:: Harrington, Stephanie J.
Abstract:: Uranium adsorption to Hanford sediment was studied for various pH, total inorganic carbon concentrations, and total U(VI) concentrations. Both batch and transport studies were done in an attempt to understand the adsorptive trend of U(VI) on Hanford sediment, and the changes in adsorption as both pH and total inorganic carbon...

Creator:: Leonard, Mary E.
Abstract:: Iodine-129 is a key risk driver at sites where nuclear materials have been fabricated or processed, and it is a predominant isotope of concern in long-term waste storage strategies. I-129 exists primarily as iodate in the subsurface at the Hanford Site in south-central Washington State. Between 15 and 40% of...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: Washington State. Between 15 and 40% of I-129 in the Hanford vadose zone is present in organoiodine form

Creator:: Kim, Young
Abstract:: Batch microcosm studies were carried out to screen for microorganisms from the subsurface of Hanford DOE site that could cometabolically transform chloroform (CF) under aerobic conditions. The potential need for CF bioremediation at the Hanford site has resulted from the large release of carbon tetrachloride (CT) to the subsurface, of...

Creator:: Napier, Jonathan Bamberger
Abstract:: Concentration ratios are used to determine the transfer of nuclides from soil to biota to fauna. Some nuclides have limited associated data though, this has not prevented predictions from being performed at sites without associated data. These ratios are site specific and are not fully applicable when applied to other...

Creator:: Jansik, Danielle P.
Abstract:: Understanding the transport and retention of radionuclides in the environment is important for protecting freshwater supplies and minimizing impact to biologic systems. Technetium-99 (Tc⁹⁹) is a radionuclide of interest due to its long half-life (2.13 x 10⁵ years) and toxicity. In the form of pertechnetate (TcO₄⁻), Tc is expected to...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: the Hanford Site, Eastern Washington, 96,900 metric tons of uranium contaminated waste were treated

Creator:: Ellis, D. Erik
Abstract:: The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

Creator:: Schwab, Kristen E.
Abstract:: Shallow land burial in vadose zone sediment at the Hanford Site in Washington is being considered for the disposal of Category 3 low-level waste. A series of column experiments were conducted to evaluate and model the performance of the soil surrounding the trench encasement material for iodine-129 and technetium-99 by...
