| Abstract | Extensive hydrogeological investigations followed by three-dimensional groundwater flow and contaminant transport modelling were carried out around a proposed uranium tailings pond at Seripalli in Andhra Pradesh, India, to estimate its radiological impact. The hydrogeological parameters and measured groundwater level were used to model the groundwater flow and contaminant transport from the uranium tailings pond using a finite-element-based model. The simulated groundwater level compares reasonably with the observed groundwater level. Subsequently, the transport of long-lived radionuclides such as $^{238}$U, $^{234}$U, $^{230}$Th and $^{226}$Ra from the proposed tailings pond was modelled. The ingrowths of progenies were also considered in the modelling. It was observed that these radionuclides move very little from the tailings pond, even at the end of 10,000 y, due to their high distribution coefficients and low groundwater velocities. These concentrations were translated into committed effective dose rates at different distances in the vicinity of the uranium tailings pond. The results indicated that the highest effective dose rate to members of the public along the groundwater flow pathway is 2.5 times lower than the drinking water guideline of 0.1 mSv/y, even after a long time period of 10,000 y.Des investigations hydrogéologiques approfondies, suivies de la simulation en trois dimensions de l’écoulement souterrain et d’un transfert du contaminant, ont été effectuées aux abords d’un bassin de déchets d’uranium en projet, à Seripalli, Andra Pradesh, Inde, dans le but d’estimer son impact radiologique. Les paramètres hydrogéologiques et le niveau des eaux souterraines mesuré ont été utilisés pour simuler l’écoulement souterrain et le transfert du contaminant depuis le bassin de déchets d’uranium, à l’aide d’un modèle à éléments finis. Le niveau d’eau souterraine simulé se cale de manière acceptable sur le niveau observé. En suite de quoi le transfert des radionucléides à vie longue, tels $^{238}$U, $^{234}$U, $^{230}$Th and $^{226}$Ra a été simulé depuis le bassin de déchets projeté. L’accroissement des descendants a été également pris en compte dans la simulation. On a observé que ces radionucléides migrent très peu à partir du bassin de déchets, même au bout de10,000 ans, en raison de leurs forts coefficients de distribution et des faibles vitesses de l’eau souterraine. Ces concentrations ont été traduites en pourcentage de la dose efficace consignée, à différentes distances dans l’espace proche du bassin de déchets d’uranium. Les résultats indiquent que le pourcentage de dose efficace le plus élevé, pour la population située sur le trajet du courant souterrain, est 2.5 fois plus faible que la valeur guide de 0.1 mSv/a pour l’eau potable, même après une période longue de 10,000 ans.Se llevaron a cabo extensas Investigaciones hidrogeológicas seguidas por un modelo tridimensional de flujo de agua subterránea y de transporte de contaminantes alrededor de un relave propuesto de uranio en el Seripalli en Andhra Pradesh, India, para estimar el impacto radiológico. Los parámetros hidrogeológicos y las mediciones de agua subterránea fueron usados para modelar el flujo de agua subterránea y el transporte de de contaminantes desde un relave de uranio usando un modelo basado en elementos finitos. El nivel de agua simulado compara razonablemente bien el nivel de agua observado. Subsecuentemente, se modela el transporte de radinucleidos de larga vida tales como $^{238}$U, $^{234}$U, $^{230}$Th y $^{226}$Ra a partir del relave propuesto. También se considera en el modelo el crecimiento de las progenies. Se observó que estos radionucleidos se movían muy poco a partir de los relaves, aún al final de 10,000 años, debido a sus altos coeficientes de distribución y la baja velocidad del agua subterránea. Estas concentraciones se han traducido en tasas de dosis efectivas comprometidas a diferentes distancias en las vecindades de los relaves de uranio. Los resultados indicaron que la tasa de dosis efectiva más alta para los miembros del público a lo largo de la trayectoria de flujo de agua subterránea es 2.5 veces más baja que las normas para agua potable de 0.1 mSv/año, aún después de un largo período de tiempo de 10,000 años.在印度安德拉邦Seripalli某铀矿尾矿坑进行了大量的水文地质调查和三维地下水水流和污染物运移模拟,来评价其放射性影响。基于水文地质参数和水位测量值,利用有限元模型对铀矿尾矿进行了地下水流和污染物运移模拟。模拟得到的水位与观测值吻合较好。此外,对尾矿坑衰变期较长的核素,如$^{238}$U, $^{234}$U, $^{230}$Th 和 $^{226}$Ra,进行了运移模拟。模型将放射性子体生长量也考虑在内。由于地下水流速低和核素的分布系数高,在10000年时间尺度上,这些核素基本上没有发生运移。这些浓度可以解释为尾矿坑附近不同距离上的有效剂量率。结果表明即使是在10000年以后,对于公众而言,地下水流路径上最高的有效剂量率比饮用水标准的0.1 mSv/y还低2.5倍。Extensas investigações hidrogeológicas seguidas de modelação tridimensional de fluxo das águas subterrâneas e de transporte de contaminantes foram realizadas em torno de uma proposta de lagoa de rejeitados de urânio em Seripalli, Andhra Pradesh, na Índia, de forma a estimar o seu impacte radiológico. Os parâmetros hidrogeológicos e os níveis freáticos medidos foram usados para modelar o fluxo de água subterrânea e o transporte de contaminantes da lagoa de rejeitados de urânio através de um modelo de elementos finitos. A comparação entre a superfície freática obtida na simulação com os níveis observados é razoável. Posteriormente, foi modelado o transporte de radionuclídeos de longa vida, como $^{238}$U, $^{234}$U, $^{230}$Th e $^{226}$Ra a partir da projectada lagoa de rejeitados. Os crescimentos de progênies também foram considerados na modelação. Observou-se que estes radionuclídeos se deslocam muito pouco desde a bacia de rejeitados, mesmo ao fim de 10,000 anos, devido aos seus elevados coeficientes de distribuição e às baixas velocidades de escoamento das águas subterrâneas. Estas concentrações foram traduzidas para taxas de doses efectivas associadas a diferentes distâncias nas proximidades da lagoa de rejeitados de urânio. Os resultados indicaram que a taxa de dose efectiva mais elevada para a população ao longo do caminho do fluxo de água subterrânea é 2.5 vezes inferior ao padrão de potabilidade de 0.1 mSv/ano, mesmo após um longo período de tempo de 10.000 anos. |
