“The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of induced clay suspensions on the transport of 85Sr and 137Cs in an aqueous environment.
An instrumented flume was used as a model river to simulate an environment typical of a slow-moving, unpolluted, turbid stream. Modified longitudinal dispersion relationships were used to describe the transport of radionuclides in turbid streams. Data were derived from instantaneous release of 85Sr and 137Cs with suspended Attapulgite and Kaolinite clays. Continuous release of 137Cs with an Attapulgite clay suspension helped to establish uptake and transport characteristics for one environmental …
