In this report we review work performed in FY 1985 for the Radionuclide Migration program. Monitoring of water pumped from the satellite well at the Cambric site shows the continuing elution of tritium and krypton from the cavity but no appearance of fission-product cations. Water samples taken from two different depths in the re-entry hole at Cheshire have rather similar concentrations of radionuclides. This result, along with anomolously low tritium concentrations, makes the interpretation of data from Cheshire somewhat uncertain. We have made significant progress in laboratory studies of radionuclide sorption, actinide speciation, and colloid detection and migration.
