Abstract

The colloid generation as a part of the migration process of trans-uranic ions has been studied in the Gorlben aquifer system. From the migration study for the Gorleben repository site, typical examples are selected to demonstrate the influence of colloids. The quantification of colloid generation and its influence on the dissolution and geochemical sorption of transuranium elements are discussed.
