Re: Naturally-occurring Tritium

["Ron L. Kathren" <rkathren@tricity.wsu.edu>]

Different waters will have different concentrations; cosmogenic tritium
concentration in ground waters is typically on the order of about 700
Bq/cubic meter (19 pCi/L) (Kathren, Radioactivity in the Environment, p.
33).  Suggest you look at UNSCEAR and NCRP 62 for more information.
