Abstract
The mobility of radionuclides in groundwater flow systems can be significantly altered by processes such as complexation, sorption on particulates, or hydrolysis, precipitation and the formation of colloids. Such processes provide potentially significant pathways for transport of radionuclides in the biosphere. Previous soil column studies demonstrated that radiocesium could be transported by particulates and that the process was likely mediated by micro-organisms. That observation provided a plausible mechanism to explain the anomalously rapid transport of small amounts of cesium-137 released from glass blocks buried below the water table at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories.
