| Abstract | In 1999 the Australian Government commissioned a number of scientific studies in response to some objections to a proposal to mine uranium and store tailings underground at a mineral lease at Jabiluka in Northern Australia. Kakadu National Park, a listed World Heritage Area surrounds the lease. This paper describes a hybrid numerical/analytical modelling investigation to determine the possible movement of potential contaminants from the tailings repositories towards wetlands adjoining the mining lease. Because of the uncertainty in the model parameters a Monte Carlo approach was employed to generate a large number of possible concentration profiles. The results show that there will be no significant impacts on groundwater in the wetlands. |
