Radioactive matter migrates faster through fractured carbonate rock

Radioactive matter migrates faster through fractured carbonate rock Sede Boqer, Israel (SPX) Dec 22, 2015 - Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have found that radioactive matter migrates more quickly in carbonate bedrock formations once it has leaked from a tank from near surface waste sites and geological repositories. Corroded stored waste containers can lead to radionuclide (radioactive) leakage, which may reach groundwater. The study, published in the online journa ... more http://www.nuclearpowerdaily.com/reports/Radioactive_matter_migrates_faster_through_fractured_carbonate_rock_999.html
