Evaluation of Residual Tank Waste at the Hanford Reservation

Description

Develop a two-dimensional PORFLOW model of the vadose zone underlying the high-level radioactive waste storage tanks on the Hanford reservation. Link vadose zone fluxes to a MODFLOW/MT3D model of the underlying aquifer. Run model to determine impacts to the aquifer from a breach of high-level radioactive waste tank.
