The results of tritium analyses of ground
water collected in 2001 and 2002 by the Georgia DNR
in Burke and Screven counties near the Savannah River
are reported. In some samples, the tritium concentration
was below 10 pCi/L while in others it was between
1,010 and 13 pCi/L. With two exceptions, samples with
detectable tritium concentrations were from the nearsurface aquifer, while the other samples were from
deeper-lying aquifers. The values are compared with
results presented by others during the past 10 years.
Inferences by others concerning these findings are
reported.
