2 Presentation Outline and Key Messages The subsurface environment is chemically and physically complex, in only rare cases can contaminant reactive transport models truly reliably predictive. Molecular-scale techniques are at the frontier of robust model development. Synchrotron light sources have enabled detailed mechanistic insights 99 Tc at Hanford Molecular simulation and HP computing facilities are an essential complement 137 Cs at Fukushima Striking the best balance between detailed chemical process understanding and useful working models remains subject to practical considerations.
3 DOE s Hanford Site Iconic Remediation Challenges Produced 67 metric tons of Pu for weapons ( ) >1000 hazardous contaminant plumes (Pu, 137 Cs, 90 Sr, U, 99 Tc) 53 million gallons of HLW stored in 177 huge underground tanks with 67 leakers ( 137 Cs, 90 Sr, U, 99 Tc, Cr) >200-square miles of contaminated groundwater migrating to the Columbia River

31 What is the Ultimate Fate of Radiocesium in Native and Waste Soils at Fukushima? Selective Cs + exchange into the interlayer of clay minerals occurs as meteoric input transports exchangeable Cs through soils into regions of unsaturated high-affinity sites. McKinley et al (2004) ES&T 38, Okumura et al. (2013) J. Phys. Soc. Japan 82, The exchange process is largely thought to be irreversible and permanent
32 Density Functional Theory (DFT) Models Can Correctly Describe Single Site Exchange Musc(K) + Cs + (aq) Musc(Cs) + K + (aq) Cesium adsorption 27kJ/mol (*Exp. 23.5) * E. Brouwer et al., J. Phys. Chem. 87, 1213 (1983). Okumura, Nakamura, Machida (2013) Journal of the Physical Society of Japan 82,
33 Knowledge Gaps About Long Term Retention Although high-affinity 137 Cs + binding to phyllosilicates is well-known, the long term durability of this association is not: Cs shows a tendency to concentrate by replacing whole interlayers Consequences of progressive radiation damage on structural integrity unknown Structural accommodation of 137 Cs + transmuted to 137 Ba 2+ unknown T. Okumura et al. (2014) Microscopy, 63,65. Activity (Bq/g) Time (years) % transmuted Cs
34 Radiocesium Transmutation Effects on Long- Term Retention is Accessible to Modeling More than Experiment Radioactive isotope Stable daughter isotope High KE electron = stochastic energy losses to ionization, local heating, Bremsstrahlung, and defect creation Anti-neutrino Sassi, Okumura, Machida, Rosso (2017) Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 19,
35 Radiocesium Transmutation Effects on Long- Term Retention is Accessible to Modeling More than Experiment Total energy of the supercell with the defect D in a charge state q Finite-size correction for charged defect supercell (FNV scheme) Total energy of the perfect supercell Chemical potential (μ i ) of removed or added atoms Chemical potential of added or removed electrons E f [D] for substitutions K + /Cs + Exchange kj/mol Ph(K) Ph(Cs K+ ) Cs + /Ba 2+ Transmutation Ph(Ba K 2+ ) kj/mol Sassi, Okumura, Machida, Rosso (2017) Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 19,
36 Modeling Predicts Progressive Weakening of 137 Cs Retention Over Time The large destabilization energy associated with daughter Ba 2+ generation is only partly neutralized by defect formation: Defect formation energy (kj/mol) Ba K 2+ Ph(Cs K+ ) Ba K 2+ + V K - Ba K 2+ + V H - Ba K 2+ + Al Si 4+ (-138.5) (-191.2) (-357.3) Sassi, Okumura, Machida, Rosso (2017) Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 19,
37 Modeling Predicts Progressive Weakening of 137 Cs Retention Over Time Now examining the choice of Cs + or K + vacancy creation, including the contribution of cation hydration: Reaction E f (ev) E f (kj/mol) End-state Ph(Ba+K) Ph(Ba 2+ + V - K ) + K + (aq) K + goes into water (μ K+(aq) ) Ph(Ba+Cs) Ph(Ba 2+ + V - Cs ) + Cs + (aq) Cs + goes into water (μ Cs+(aq) ) Defect formation energy (kj/mol) Ba K 2+ Ba 2+ K + V - K (-115.2) Ba 2+ K + V - Cs (-143.2) 137 Cs transmutation should primarily weaken residual 137 Cs retention because ejecting Cs + to solution is ~0.3 ev more favorable than ejecting K + Sassi, Okumura, Machida, Rosso (2017) Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 19,
38 Implications and Outlook Molecular-scale experimental and theoretical techniques are at the frontier of robust reactive transport model development. Such techniques have provided useful input for decision-making. Incorporation of detailed chemical process information into models is less of a technical challenge than it is subject to the pressures of finding practical solutions.
