Abstract
An investigation of the release of Ni-63, Co-60, and Fe-55 from Inconel
600 and 347SS stainless steel specimens implanted in marine sediment for one
year is described. Radiochemical analysis of the sediment from overcores of
the metal specimens permits estimation of integrated activities, release rates,
and diffusion coefficients of the three radionuclides. Disturbance of the
sediment upon recovery limits the values to order of magnitude estimates. The
redox chemistry of the sediments is characterized by measurement of several
naturally occurring oxidizing agents and is correlated with the behavior of
the radionuclides. Details of the deployment, sampling and analytical procedures
are also given.
