In October, the Sequoyah nuclear power plant in Tennessee drilled two new monitoring wells “in an area known to have contained previously reported releases of tritium….” Yesterday, Sequoyah reported tritium levels “greater than 20,000 pCi/L which is the threshold for drinking water.” There is no information so far to indicate that tritium has moved beyond the initial test well. Plant operators are continuing to investigate the source of the tritium.
