Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geologic and Hydrologic Investigation at the Site of the Georgia Nuclear Laboratory, Dawson County, Georgia
Ion-exchange capacity of 97 samples collected in the ref ranged from to meq per 100 g (milliequivalents per 100 grams), and of 25 samples collected in the rel the ion-exchange capacity ranged from to meq per 100 g. The average for both areas is a little more than 5 meq per 100 g. Kaolinite and vermiculite are the only clay minerals present in appreciable quantities. The ion-exchange capacities indicate a relatively low capacity for base exchange, but the thick blanket of saprolite and the slow rate of ground-water movement in the sites probably provides a high overall efficiency for the retention of radionuclides. The ground-water velocity in the rel site ranged from to feet per day and in the ref site from to feet per day. Ground-water movement within the areas tested is controlled largely by the strike and dip of the rocks and to a lesser extent by their joints.
