Regularities of uranium distribution in groundwater of ChNPP industrial site

Abstract

Observed significant increase of migration properties of uranium from groundwater happens when pH rises above 9 - 10 against significant increases in the concentrations of major ions: Na+, K+, СО32-, NO2-, NO3-. Herewith, strongly alkaline reducing or transitional environment in groundwater is formed.
