Hydrochemical characteristics and hydrogeochemical modeling of groundwater in a certain potential radioactive waste disposal site in Northwest China

In the site selection for radioactive waste repository,hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater are the most important evaluation factors.In order to study the hydrochemical characteristics and chemical evolution mechanism of groundwater in a certain potential radioactive waste disposal site in northwest China,the groundwater samples were tested.Based on the data,the Piper diagram,the correlation matrices,the saturation index simulation and the mass balance reaction model were used to gain t...
