Brine produced early on tends to have lower amounts of radioactivity than brines produced later. Industry representatives continually say that the Marcellus wells will produce for decades.... which means that those in areas with higher radioactivity will be producing increasingly more rad-waste.Sue Heavenrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550259613381458435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993321373300794743.post-51878091953812407952009-12-31T17:25:44.315-05:002009-12-31T17:25:44.315-05:00The radioactivity is not evenly spread through the...The radioactivity is not evenly spread through the Marcellus. It is positively correlated with the original density of the organic content. So some wells will hit hot spots and some won't. The safest, most expensive thing to do is to treat it all like it's hot.Bill Chaissonhttp://www.hibernianweather.netnoreply@blogger.com
