During May 1974, the U. S. Geological Survey collected water samples from Amchitka Island, Alaska. Tritium determinations were made on 99 water samples, and dissolved gross alpha and gross beta/gamma determinations were made on 34 water samples. No appreciable differences were found between the data obtained in May 1974 and the data obtained before the Cannikin nuclear explosion.
