SUMMARY

M. .b i Mr. Johnson called me to inquire about equation 6 (on pg. 6) in NRC's Draf t f (jy b

-g :

( Generic Position on Groundwater Travel Time (6/30/86). He pointed out that the ;Q y'.

g

7. .< ;p equation is dimensionally incorrect. He contended that since the retardation coefficient Q,j Y J.f:- (

l Rd is dimensionless and the ratio n/n eis also dimension 16ss, then Kd w uld have to [.. ' . ,

f'tp %

be dimensionless, which would be incorrect since Kd has dimensions of Volume / Mass.

Q:M

I commented that he appeared to be correct, but I told him that he should talk with p* 7 (.{

.,e s

Richard Codell, who derived equation 6. I indicated that Dr. Codell would call him T'_'," E 4 - g g

back when he returns from leave on 8/28/86.

g Mr. Johnson was trying to resolve his (a%.'}h -

comments on the position before submitting them formally to the State of Nevada, for

]A)b y ....;~

' .y whom is preparing the comments. ye4 r

D Mr. Johnson also stated that his other major comments included: (1) that the use of .

i! average scepage velocities is inappropriate for media in which fracture flow is dominant p k 1-

  • and (2) that the discussion of dispersivity in the position overemphasizes molecular . k y _- . - . - - . - . - -

diffusion compared with hydrodynamic (mechanical) dispersion. I thanked Mr, Johnson .

for his comments.  ;

ACTION REQUIRED Request Dr. Codell telephone Mr. Johnson to discuss the comments. .
