Deals with the determination of the radionuclide concentration in groundwater resulting from postulated releases from nuclear power plants. The main emphasis is on the behaviour of radioactive material in groundwater and on the methods for assessing the radionuclide movement in various aquifers.

This guide deals with the determination of the radionuclide concentration in groundwater resulting from postulated releases from nuclear power plants. The main emphasis is on the behaviour of radioactive material in groundwater and on the methods forassessing the radionuclide movement in various aquifers. This movement of radionuclides in the ground is essentially controlled by the phenomena of transport (bulk motion of groundwater), hydrodynamic dispersion (spread of contaminate front) and ion exchange.
