- W989049215 abstract "This chapter discusses both high-level and low-level wastes, with the exception of high-level wastes in underground storage tanks. Radionuclides can occur in groundwater, surface water, process waste streams, and in storage tanks. Groundwater can become contaminated from numerous sources. Groundwater contamination is very site-specific in terms of the contaminants present and their behavior. Groundwater contamination is such a difficult problem to characterize and clean up because the environment is not uniform. In general, the less uniform the environment, the more difficult it is to characterize contamination problems and clean them up. Some contaminants adsorb onto soil particles in the unsaturated zone or onto the aquifer media, thereby slowing their movement and possibly preventing groundwater contamination. Contaminants may also form or adsorb onto colloidal particles, which allows them to move with, or faster than, the average groundwater flow. Flow can result from an apparently unrelated force, such as the flow of water and contaminants due to a thermal or electrical gradient instead of the expected hydraulic gradient. Contaminants that dissolve in water can often be extracted from groundwater and cleaned up with pump and treat techniques. This is the most commonly used procedure to clean up contaminated groundwater. Pump and treat can successfully remove great quantities of contaminants; however, the approach often takes much longer than originally planned to reduce contaminants to desired levels. Because contaminated groundwater is so difficult to clean up it is especially important to prevent contamination from occurring in the first place and to prevent it from spreading further once it has occurred." @default.
