Determination Method of Groundwater Baseline of In-situ Leaching of Uranium
The groundwater baseline is an important benchmark for determining the impact degree of in-situ leaching of uranium and determining the restoration target value.Due to the complex hydro-geological conditions and poor comparability of monitoring data,the determination of groundwater baseline still lacks a relatively contractual and unified technical method and standard specification.Therefore,the procedure of determining groundwater baseline is put forward,the monitoring factors,spatial scale,number and density of samples,sampling frequency and sampling depth are discussed and demonstrated by applying mathematical and statistical methods based on the monitoring data from two in-situ leaching of uranium projects in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.The research results can pro-vide some guidance for determining groundwater baseline of in-situ leaching of uranium.
