Chemical constituents in water from wells in the vicinity of the Naval Reactors Facility, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho, 1989--90
Ground-water-chemistry data collected during 1989--90 from 13 sites on the eastern Snake River Plain is presented as part of the US Geological Survey's continuing water-quality monitoring program in the vicinity of the Naval Reactors Facility, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho. Ranges of concentrations for total cations and dissolved anions were calcium--29 to 64 mg/L (milligrams per liter), potassium--1.5 to 2.6 mg/L, magnesium--8.6 to 28 mg/L, sodium--5.6 to 17 mg/L, bromide--0.02 to 0.35 mg/L, chloride--5.7 to 1 10 mg/L, sulfate-- 19 to 59 mg/L, and fluoride--less than 0. 1 to 0. 3 mg/L. Purgeable organic compounds and extractable acid and base/neutral organic compounds were detected in water from two and nine sites, respectively. Concentrations of total organic carbon ranged from 0. t to 0.9 mg/L. Total phenols in 9 of 13 samples ranged from 1 to 9 micrograms per liter. Dissolved concentrations of tritium and thorium-230 ranged from less than the reporting level. Concentrations of dissolved gross beta-particle radioactivity as cesium-137 ranged from 2.89[plus minus]0.53 to 5.52[plus minus]0.58 pCi/L. Concentrations of radium-226 ranged from 0.042[plus minus]0.006 to 0.095[plus minus]0.009 pCi/L.
