Area 11 case study of radionuclide movement by storm channel erosion: A baseline method and initial evaluation

NNSS Soils Monitoring: Plutonium Valley (CAU 366) FY2017

“…The presence of radionuclide-contaminated soils in a channel that traverses the southernmost CAS in the Plutonium Valley CA suggests that radionuclide-contaminated soil has been transported in the past during runoff events. Various studies (Colton, 1999;Shinn et al, 1993) also have indicated that radionuclide-contaminated soils have migrated by surface water transport in the past, suggesting additional surface movement of contaminated soils is possible in the future.…”
