FY-1980 laboratory and field studies related to the Radionuclide Migration project are described. Results are presented for radiochemical analyses of water samples collected from the RNM-1 well and the RNM-2S satellite well at the Cambric site. Data are included for tritium, /sup 85/Kr, /sup 90/Sr, /sup 137/Cs, /sup 129/I, and what is tentatively identified as /sup 106/Ru. The time of arrival of the maximum-concentration tritium peak at RNM-2S is estimated as August 1, 1981 with an uncertainty of 45 days. Laboratory studies emphasize the sorptive behavior of tuff and its dependence on atmosphere, groundwater composition, and mineralogy. Results from batch measurements and crushed-rock and whole-core column studies are presented.
