g-2 Tritium Investigation

BNL's enhanced groundwater protection program includes monitoring wells near the AGS g-2 experimental facility. Levels above the drinking water standard for tritium were detected in groundwater sampled from these wells. The source was an activated soil-shield near a magnet in the experimental beamline. Several corrective actions to elminate this source have been completed. The tritium in the groundwater will effect neither on-site nor off-site potable water supplies.
