This study was undertaken at the U. S. Department of Energy’s Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State. The focus of this study was to define the shape and extent of tritium groundwater contamination emanating from the 618-11 burial ground and to identify vadose zone sources of tritium using helium isotopes (3He and 4He) in soil gas.
