Description: Report seek to develop a radioanalytical method to enable the sequential determination of U-238, U-234, Th-232, Th-30, Ra-226 and Rb-210 in groundwater and other samples, to assess the spread of chemical and radioactive contaminants from waste rock in ground water, to determine factors that affect the release of radionuclides by weathering and to determine the suitability of laboratory-determined parameters for the simulation of the radionuclides from waste rock in shallow groundwater and  sand deposits.
