CH2M HILL Hanford Group, Inc. (CH2M HILL) is designing and assessing the performance of an integrated disposal facility (IDF) to receive low-level waste (LLW), mixed low-level waste (MLLW), immobilized low-activity waste (ILAW), and failed or decommissioned melters. The CH2M HILL project to assess the performance of this disposal facility is the Hanford IDF Performance Assessment (PA) activity. The goal of the Hanford IDF PA activity is to provide a reasonable expectation that the disposal of the waste is protective of the general public, groundwater resources, air resources, surfacewater resources, and inadvertent intruders. Achieving this goal will require predicting contaminant migration from the facilities. This migration is expected to occur primarily through the movement of water through the facilities and the consequent transport of dissolved contaminants through the vadose zone to groundwater, where contaminants may be reintroduced to receptors via drinking water wells or mixing in the Columbia River. 2005 IDF PA for the key contaminants of concern: Cr(VI), nitrate, 129 I, 79 Se, 99 Tc, and U(VI). This discussion provides the rationale for why some K d values have changed with time.
