An Update of Hydrologic Conditions and Distribution of Selected Constituents in Water, Snake River Plain Aquifer and Perched-Water Zones, Idaho National Laboratory, Idaho, Emphasis 2002

Scientific Investigations Report 2008–5089

Table 12. Concentrations of tritium, strontium-90, and cesium-137 in perched ground water from selected wells, Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center, Idaho National Laboratory, Idaho, 2002–05.

[Well No.: Locations of wells are shown in figure 21. Analyses completed by the Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory. Analytical uncertainties are reported as 1 times the sample standard deviation. Concentrations equal to or greater than 3 times the sample standard deviation are considered to be greater than the reporting level and are bold. Abbreviations: DP, well completed in deep perched water; SP, well completed in shallow perched water. NR, analysis not requested; NS, not sampled due to lack of water or because water level was below pump intake; NSEQ, not sampled, equipment problems; SL, sample lost prior to analysis; pCi/mL, picocurie per milliliter; pCi/L, picocurie per liter. Symbol: ±, plus or minus]
