Abstract
The study of radionuclide migration is of particular concern in when substantiating safety procedures involved in the deep disposal of radioactive waste in the host rocks of the Yeniseisky site located in Krasnoyarsk Krai. One of the main processes controlling the migration of radionuclides is the sorption by mineral phases of host rocks. The present work aims to obtain quantitative characteristics of 137Cs, 237Np, and 239Pu sorption by the rocks of the Yeniseisky site under conditions simulating a deep disposal of radioactive waste. The distribution coefficients of 137Cs, 237Np, and 239Pu were determined depending on the ionic strength and temperature of the solutions after leaching the Mg-K-phosphate compound. Differences in the effect of K+ and Mg2+ cations on cesium sorption by the rocks were established. At an increase in the temperature, the efficiency of 239Pu and 237Np sorption by the rocks increases, while the sorption of 137Cs remains almost constant.
