Clay-Size Particle Content (wt%)<br />

Figure J.2. Field-derived K d values for 238 U and 235 U from Serkiz and Johnson (1994)<br />

plotted as a function of the weight percent of clay-size particles in the<br />

contaminated soil/porewater samples. [Square and circle symbols represent<br />

field-derived K d values for 238 U and 235 U, respectively. Solid symbols<br />

represent minimum K d values for 238 U and 235 U that were based on minimum<br />

detection limit values for the concentrations for the respective uranium<br />

isotopes in porewaters associated with the soil sample.]<br />
