FY 1981 laboratory and field studies related to the Radionuclide Migration project are described. Results are presented for radiochemical analyses of water samples collected from the RNM-1 well and the RNM-2S satellite well at the Cambric site. Data are included for tritium, {sup 85}Kr, {sup 129}I, and {sup 36}Cl. The maximum-concentration tritium, peak appears to have arrived at RNM-2S near the end of FY-1981. Laboratory studies emphasize the sorptive behavior of alluvium and tuff and its dependence on mineralogy. Results from batch measurements and crushed-rock and whole-core column studies are presented
