The experiments were of two types. In the first set, studies were made of the migration of solutions of Pu through cores of Niagara limestone and basalts. A high pressure chromatographic absorption appa-... 

The rocks that are discussed in this paper are Niagara limestone (chosen for its density and fine porosity), basalt from the National Reactor Test site, and Los Alamos tuff. The latter two... 

Migration of Plutonium into Dense Stone Samples. Thin wafers or disks of dense Illinois Niagara limestone and basalt from the EBR-II site were fabricated. The dimensions were approximately 25 mm 1n diameter and 1.5 mm 1n thickness. The wafers were waxed into the high pressure chromatographic apparatus as shown in Fig. 2.

Saunders (110) has shown that the intensities of the peaks in the TL curves increased with increase in depth in a Niagara limestone deposit. The glow curves were useful for studying the various strata of the deposit. Parks (111) reported a similar study relating TL curves of the samples with the identification and characterization of a formation, the identification of the top and bottom of limestone formations, and the characterization of erosion or nondeposition of zones. 

The analyses appear to be in error since the anions far exceed the cations. The Berea Sandstone is gas-bearing. The Niagara Limestone is below the halite- O potash deposit the St. Peter Sandstone is much deeper. ...
