- I have been asked to comment on the following report of analysis of
- core samples:
-
- ... reported on the coring of Lake Athabasca sediments and the results
- at the meeting last week. -there were three cores - one off
- Crackingstone Pt. in 360 ft of water. Radiation ~17 Bequerels.
- Maybe Louis knows what that means in the real world. No
- sedimentation rate given.
- ...
- Radionuclides are 238Uranium, 226Radium, 210Lead, and Polonium.
-
- I have no access to library materials to answer this. Would some kind
- soul indicate where that level fits in the big picture? email
- preferred. Thanks
