Abstract
Geochemical kinetic modelling codes have been utilised in the assessme nt of the potential for contaminant release during the rehabilitation of mine sites. Two uranium mines in eastern Germany have been used as study sites for the application of the kinetic models. Results from th e study will be used in the formulation of options for the rehabilitat ion of the two sites. The predicted results are in good agreement with results from other studies using different techniques and can also pr edict the water quality of pilot-scale flooding experiments.
