The experiments were conducted in Situ on a piece of land limited by two control strips. The Sr-90 migration over the last 40 years was studied by performing radiological and physico-chemical characterizations of the soil on eight 70 cm deep cores. The vertical migration modeling of Sr-90 required the definition of a triple layer conceptual model integrating the rainwater infiltration at constant flux as the only external factor of influence. Afterwards the importance of a detailed soil characterization for modeling was discussed and satisfactory simulation of the Sr-90 vertical transport was obtained and showed a calculated migration rate of about 1.0 cm year(-1) in full agreement with the in situ measured values. The discussion was regarding some of the key parameters such as granulometry, organic matter content (in the Van Genuchten parameter determination), Kd and the efficient rainwater infiltration. Besides the experimental data, simplifying assumptions in modeling such as water-soil redistribution calculation and factual discontinuities in conceptual model were examined. specialized Sr 90 unsaturated porous medium numerical simulation experimental plot forty years of vertical migration data acquisition Van Genuchten 068 021 87 2 209-226 2006 0265-931X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010037805 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2005.11.010 0265-931X [F B010037805] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010037805 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2007/suppl/010037805.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2007-09-06 2017-08-23 fdi:010037805 fre
