Numerical Simulation of Radon Atmospheric Dynamic Diffusion from a Flat Ground Uranium Tailings Impoundment

Article Preview

Abstract:

with a flat ground uranium tailings impoundment as the object of the paper, CFD technology was used to study the atmospheric dynamic diffusion characteristics and the evolution of time and space distribution of radon in the uranium tailings impoundment. Results show that, within 1500m range of the leeward of uranium tailings impoundment the falling gradient of radon mass fraction improves with distance increases at the same moment, however the falling gradient flattens with the increase of time gradually; During the first 30 minutes, the radon mass fraction of tailings impoundment in the leeward direction has a larger growth gradient, then flattens out slowly, and stabilizes after 75 minutes.
