- W3100643952 abstract "A mean annual plutonium budget for the Northern Rio Grande provides an accounting of the amounts of plutonium moving into and out of various reaches of the river during a typical year. Such a budget is a basis for assessing the rates of plutonium transport and the location of storage along the river. The budget presented in the following pages is for bedload and suspended sediments. It does not include plutonium in water because water-borne plutonium is such a small portion of the total in the system (as discussed in Chapter 7). The budget as calculated here requires data concerning sediment and plutonium concentrations in the sediment. The sediment discharge data that are available from U. S. Geological Survey gaging sites (Chapter 4) define the overall framework for budget construction. A reasonably detailed picture is possible for the river system from the Rio Grande at Embudo and the Rio Chama at Chamita southward to the Rio Grande at San Marcial (for locations, see Figure 3.9) where the river empties into Elephant Butte Reservoir. Data collected by Los Alamos National Laboratory and published in the annual surveillance reports by the laboratory’s Environmental Studies Group and later by the Environmental Surveillance Group provide plutonium concentrations for bedload and suspended sediments. The calculations for each site in this study used mean values of plutonium concentrations from all measurements at or near the site. Table 8.1 reviews the sources of plutonium concentration data for each of the sediment-gaging sites in the regional budget calculations. Unfortunately, the sites for collecting the plutonium data were not always colocated with the gaging sites that produced the sediment discharge data. In addition, most of the plutonium concentration data are for bedload sediments because of the manner in which the workers collected samples. In some cases, the best estimates of plutonium concentrations in suspended load for gaging sites are from concentrations found in sediments of the nearest reservoir downstream because those sediments are likely to have been in suspension before their emplacement on reservoir floors. The assumption that the mean concentration is a useful representative value seems reasonable given that in those reaches with relatively large amounts of data, concentration values do not show temporal or geographic trends." @default.
