Detection of natural fission products in groundwater

Description

The proposed disposal of high-level radioactive waste in geologic formations has spurred research on nuclear techniques for age-dating old groundwater and on field studies of radionuclide behavior in geochemical analogs to waste repositories. Lithospheric production and solute transport of natural fission product 129I is of interest for both applications. Using tandem accelerator mass spectrometry, natural levels of this isotope were recently measured in groundwater in two field studies: Stripa granite in Sweden and uranium ore deposits in Northern Territory, Australia. Results and preliminary interpretation are presented here
