Description
Solubility is a property of a chemical element, and not of the radioisotope. Several elements have limited solubilities in the chemical environment that will exist in the backfill. The presence of stable isotopes will affect the concentration of radioactive isotopes of the same element (isotopic dilution). The presence of chemically similar elements can also affect solubility.
