Radium‐226 and Tritium in Public Well Supplies of the Greater Chicago Area
Relatively higher levels of total alpha and beta radioactivities encountered in wastewater of one of the wastewater treatment facilities operated by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago prompted a radiological survey of the municipal well water supplies in the region. The concentrations of total alpha activity, total beta activity, and radium‐226 were found to be higher in waters from wells with depths greater than 1,200 ft (366m) than in waters from wells of less than 850 ft (259 m) depth. The waters from 10 of the deep wells were found to contain an unmeasurable concentration of tritium, but all of the shallow‐well waters contained tritium at 0.3 nCi/L.
