Reassessment of the Goiânia radioactive waste repository in Brazil using HYDRUS-1D
In September 1987 an accident occurred with a cesium chloride (CsCl) teletherapy source taken from a cancer therapy institute in Goiânia, Brazil. Misuse of the abandoned source caused widespread contamination of radioactive material (about 50 TBq of Cs) in the town of Goiânia. Decontamination of affected areas did lead to about 3,500 m of solid radioactive wastes, which were disposed in two nea...
متن کاملHeat Conduction in Radioactive Waste Repository
The paper presents some numerical tests for the temperature development around nuclear waste packages stored in vaults. We deal with two simplified models. In the first of them, a single long cylinder of the diameter 1 m is considered. It is filled with radioactive waste and surrounded by rock. The second model presents a long cuboidal package stored in a vault. The computation was carried out ...
متن کاملProbabilistic risk analysis for a high-level radioactive waste repository.
A probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) for a high-level radioactive waste repository is very important since it gives an estimate of its health impacts, allowing comparisons to be made with the health impacts of competing technologies. However, it is extremely difficult to develop a credible PRA for a specific repository site because of large uncertainties in future climate, hydrology, geological ...
متن کاملApplying imprecise probabilities to radioactive waste repository siting
The siting of a radioactive waste repository involves a series of decisions that require an integrated analysis of conflicting ecological, economical and social objectives. While making sure that these criteria are met, the main goal of such decisions is to ensure that the population and the environment are safe. According to IAEA (2007), the siting process consists of site selection and charac...
متن کاملAnalysis of 2,4-D residues in soil profile using HYDRUS-1D model
ABSTRACT- Despite the benefits of herbicides, their persistence in soil can harm other plants in next rotations and contaminate ground water. The main purpose of this research is to simulate 2,4-dichlorophenoxyaceticacid(2,4-D) movement in silty clay loam soil using HYDRUS-1D model in a corn root zone. The maximum contaminant level goal, MCLG, of 2,4-D in water resources is 10 ppb. The 3.5 kg a...
