Odd nuclear question

[Scott D Kniffin <Scott.D.Kniffin.1@gsfc.nasa.gov>]

Hi all, 

Someone asked me if the orbital speed of an electron depended on it's
distance from the nucleus.  The entirely unsatisfactory answer that I have
is "I'm not sure".  Does anyone out there happen to know?  Any references
would be nice as well, I'd like to brush up on this particular part of
nuclear theory again.  

My thanks as always,
