Abstract
⺠The sorption of 90Sr to sediments representative of the UK Sellafield site is investigated. ⺠In artificial groundwater based solutions the degree of 90Sr sorption is controlled by pH. ⺠In a simulant tank liquor solution, sorption is limited by cation competition due to elevated Na+. ⺠Sr is adsorbed to sediments as weakly bound surface complexes even in experiments aged for 1 year. ⺠After 1 year most Sr can be extracted with MgCl2, a finding useful to remediation strategies.
