... seepage pits which were used for dilute aqueous wastes have resulted in a contaminant plume of considerable volume. This lead to the fundamental decision that only solidified wastes will be considered for disposal. Experience with an early trench with a nonreinforced concrete cap, which collapsed and led to its flooding, illustrated the need for a strong, self-supporting cap as well as a permeable floor. Contaminant plumes have provided the opportunity to measure groundwater flow and radionuclide transport and to determine retardation coefficients for the different radionuclides under field conditions. 2, record 1, English, - contaminant%20plume

Much of this work has been conducted at the Nordic Mine site at Elliot Lake where encouraging results are being obtained in area hydrology, chemical and radio-isotope distribution profiles in tailings solids and in pore water, and migration of contaminants in the surrounding aquifer (contaminant plume). 3, record 1, English, - contaminant%20plume

La plupart des travaux ont été menés à la mine Nordic d'Elliot Lake où on a obtenu d'encourageants résultats dans le domaine de l'hydrologie, de l'établissement de la distribution des produits chimiques et des radio-isotopes dans les résidus solides et dans l'eau de porosité, ainsi que de la migration des contaminants dans l'aquifère voisin (études des panaches de contamination). 1, record 1, French, - panache%20de%20contamination
