Nd isotopes and water mixing phenomena in groundwaters from Palmottu (Finland).

The Palmottu uranium ore deposit, located within a granitic host rock in southern Finland, is an excellent setting for conducting analogue studies to assess radionuclide transport from the uranium deposit fractured crystalline host rock. In this context, Nd isotope ratios are used to establish the degree of water-rock interaction (WRI) and to clarify mixing processes within the groundwaters. Variations in Nd isotopes in selected water types from the Palmottu hydrosystem provide new information on the mixing history.

U-series disequilibria in a groundwater flow route as an indicator of uranium migration processes.

U-series data relating to groundwater, fracture coatings and the adjoining rock matrix in a groundwater flow system at the Palmottu natural analogue site was examined. The aim was to obtain an experimental reference for migration modelling in a transport section defined within the flow system. The U-series reference obtained turned out to be a very useful tool for fine tuning the flow route and for migration mechanism considerations. The U-series data are well in line with other interpretations of the migration system.
