The adsorption of radioisotopes on soil was investigated in the laboratory to determine the behavior of lowlevel radioactive waste solutions discharged to the ground. Strontium, cesium, and plutonium distributions between soil and waste solution were studied. The effects of cation concentration and acidity were determined. The results of the distribution experiments, and material balance considerations, permit prediction of the behavior of activity in beds of soil. Laboratory tests with beds of soil gave results that agreed with these predictions. These results can be applied to the disposal of radioactive solutions to the ground. A typical application is discussed. (auth)
