Description

Within the biosphere and at the interface between the geosphere and the biosphere sharp changes in chemical and physical conditions may occur (e.g. boundary between reducing and oxidising environments, saline/freshwater boundaries, etc.). Radionuclide transport may be affected significantly as a consequence.
