Description

In 1954 and 1955 radioactive wastes were deposited in a disposal area near Perch Lake. The movement of Sr90 and Cs137 from these wastes has been followed and has been found to be occurring at a velocity less than that of transporting ground water. A plan view of the Sr90 and Cs137 migration plumes is presented. Data are also given on the ground water geochemistry of the area. (LL)
