The Feasibility of USD Method in Tracking Past Hydrogeochemical Changes in the Fennoscandian Shield

ABSTRACT Uranium-series disequilibrium (USD) method is the only paleohydrogeological method that for the time scale relevant for performance assessments can detect and directly date past hydrogeochemical changes. Such changes cause U mobility which is seen as uranium-series disequilibrium. We have r...
