Abstract
F036 Resistivity and Induced Polarization Survey at a Russian Nuclear Waste Site Summary WILLIAM FRANGOS 1 AND SERGEI TER-SAAKIAN 2 1 James Madison University Harrisonburg VA 22807 USA 2 Hydrospetzgeologia Moscow Russia Electrical resistivity and induced polarization (IP) data from the area of a radioactive and nitrate-rich groundwater plume were gathered by a joint Russian- American team. The area is well characterized geologically and the plume location determined by numerous monitoring wells. The results show the contaminated area to be conductive and to have an anomalously low IP response. The low IP response is apparently due to a radiolytic reaction
