PHREEQC software was used to study the chemical form of uranium based on the chemical composition of groundwater from a low-level radioactive waste repository located in southwest China. The effects of pH, temperature, and pE (the equilibrium state of electronic activity) on the distribution in uranium chemical form were studied. The results show that uranium presents in the VI chemical valence and [UO₂(CO₃)₂]^2-, [UO₂(CO₃)₃]^4-, and UO₂CO₃ forms when pH=7.6, T=12.2 ℃, and pE=4 in groundwater. Temperature and pH strongly impact the distribution of the uranium chemical form. However, pE has little effect on the chemical form distribution. Therefore, pH and groundwater temperature should be taken key considerations during the selection of waste landfill sites.
