Annual summary of burial ground grid well assays - 1978. [Alpha emitters, beta-gamma emitters and tritium]

Technical Report · Tue Jul 31 04:00:00 EDT 1979

OSTI ID:5313349

During 1978, 1110 assays were performed on samples of groundwater collected from the grid of 67 ground-water monitoring wells in the original 76-acre SRP burial ground (643-G). The results show an increase in average concentration in all categories. The increase in alpha and non-volatile beta-gamma occurred mostly in the former solvent handling area and largely in a single well. The tritium increase, in contrast, was general throughout 643-G. The trend over the past 5 years was very slightly upward in all categories. 1 figure, 3 tables.
