The Field Lysimeter Investigations: Low-Level Waste Data Base Development Program is obtaining information on the performance of radioactive waste forms. Ion-exchange resins from a nuclear power station were solidified into waste forms using portland cement and vinyl esterstyrene. These waste forms are being tested to obtain information on survivability of waste forms in a disposal environment and to develop a low-level waste data base. Radionuclide releases from those waste forms during the first 9 years of sampling have been evaluated. Also, upward migration of radionuclides was recently discovered. Lastly, lysimeter data are applied to a performance assessment source term model.
