“…Objectives of the study were to identify and measure concentrations of selected radionuclides in ground water from each of the two aquifer systems, to characterize the geochemical environment of ground water flowing through the two aquifer systems, and to determine if a relation exists between water geochemistry and radionuclide concentrations. The first objective was met with the publication of data collected during the investigation (Hileman, 1990).…”
