User:Watchpup/Radioactive contamination of groundwater

This table lists sites where water is impacted by radioactive contamination:
Contaminants of interest include: Tritium Uranium Plutonium Cobalt-60 Cesium-137 Iodine-131, and Strontium-90.

Tritium in water is a problem in groundwater because it is difficult to separate once combined.
