papers. Warnecke et al. (1984) indicated that the measured pH values for the locations of soil and groundwater samples at Gorleben site studies range from 6 to 9. Warnecke et al. (1994) summarize experiments conducted during the previous 10 years to characterize the potential for radionuclide migration at site-specific conditions at the Gorleben site. Characteristic, minimum, and maximum K d values tabulated by Warnecke et al. (1994, Table 1) for uranium adsorbed to sandy and clayish sediments in contact with fresh or saline waters are listed below in Table J.1. No pH values were assigned to the listed K d values. Warnecke et al. noted that the following progression in uranium K d values as function of sediment type was indicated: K d (Clay) > K d (Marl 1 ) > K d (Sandy) . Warnecke and Hild (1988) present an overview of the radionuclide migration experiments and adsorption/desorption measurements that were conducted for the site investigations of the Gorleben salt dome, Asse II salt mine, and Konrad iron ore mine. The uranium K d values listed in Warnecke and Hild are identical to those presented in Warnecke et al. (1994). The uranium K d values (ml/g) listed by Warnecke and Hild (1988, Table II) for sediments and different water types for the Konrad site are: 4 (Quaternary fresh water), 6 (Turonian fresh water), 6 (Cenomanian saline water), 20 [Albian (Hauterivain) saline water], 1.4 [Albian (Hils) saline water], 2.6 (Kimmeridgian saline water), 3 (Oxfordian saline water), and 3 [Bajocian (Dogger) saline water]. Warnecke and Hild (1988, Table III) list minimum and maximum uranium K d values (0.54-15.2 ml/g) for 26 rock samples from the Asse II site. No pH values were assigned to any of the tabulated K d values, and no descriptions were given regarding the mineralogy of the site sediment samples. Warnecke and Hild noted that sorption measurements for the Konrad sediments, especially for the consolidated material, show the same trend as those for the Gorleben sediments. Table J.1.

Warnecke et al. (1986) present an overview of the radionuclide migration experiments and adsorption/desorption measurements that were conducted for the Gorleben salt dome, and Konrad iron ore mine. The tabulated K d values for the Gorleben and Konrad site sediments and waters duplicate those presented Warnecke et al. (1994) and Warnecke and Hild (1988). Warnecke et al. (1984) present a short summary of radionuclide sorption measurements that were conducted by several laboratories in support of the Gorleben site investigation. Sediment (especially sand and silt) and water samples were taken from 20 locations that were considered representative of the potential migration path for radionuclides that might be released from a disposal facility sited at Gorleben. The minimum and maximum K d values listed by Warnecke et al. (1984, Table III) are 0.5 and 3,000 ml/g, respectively (note that these values are not listed as a function of pH). Zachara et al. (1992) studied the adsorption of U(VI) on clay-mineral separates from subsurface soils from 3 DOE sites. The materials included the clay separates (
