The uranium reactive gas sequestration (URGS) test described herein was conducted as an element of the Deep Vadose Zone Treatability Test Plan for the Hanford Central Plateau. The URGS technology was tested as a potential remedy to decrease the mobility of uranium in the vadose zone as a mechanism to protect groundwater. Information about URGS obtained from this test is intended for use in subsequent feasibility studies for Hanford Central Plateau waste sites with uranium contamination in the deep vadose zone.
