The paper presents experimentally evaluated parameters of 14C and 36Cl leaching from irradiated RBMK-1000 graphite in aqueous media of various compositions, including distilled water and those stimulating the groundwater. To predict further radionuclide migration and to demonstrate the disposal safety, an array of initial data was formed presenting the characteristics of RBMK-1000 graphite stacks. The paper proposes an optimal approach describing numerically the function of the leaching dynamics. It also compares the calculated dynamics of 14C and 36Cl leaching from GR‑220 (PUGR) and GR-280 (RBMK-1000) graphite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
