| Short description: |
The current document represents the third volume of a set of three volumes that address the technical basis and
requirements for assessing the potential applicability of MNA as part of a ground-water remedy for plumes with nonradionuclide
and/or radionuclide inorganic contaminants. Volume 3, titled “Assessment for Radionuclides Including
Tritium, Radon, Strontium, Technetium, Uranium, Iodine, Radium, Thorium, Cesium, and Plutonium-Americium,”
consists of individual chapters that describe 1) the natural processes that may result in the attenuation of the listed
contaminants and 2) data requirements to be met during site characterization. Emphasis is placed on characterization
of immobilization and/or radioactive decay processes that may control contaminant attenuation, as well as
technical approaches to assess performance characteristics of the MNA remedy. A tiered analysis approach is
presented to assist in organizing site characterization tasks in a manner designed to reduce uncertainty in remedy
selection
