[ RadSafe ] Question on total river water activity

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

Thanks, Dan.

Interesting.  This would support the contention that the concentration
in seawater is due to evaporation, and that while the ocean is very big,
it has been at it for a very, very long time.

Dear Doug:

I think that you are correct. The concentration in seawater may very
well be
uniformly greater than the input due in large part to evaporation.  

Mike - here is a Tiny URL to a saline lakes report that includes
geochemistry.
