Abstract

Tritium and ¹⁴C concentration in hot spring water in Korea were determined. Tritium in the most hot spring samples could not detected and concentration range was <0.5–1.31 TU. And ¹⁴C contents were ranged 1.7–78.6 pMC. From the ³H and ¹⁴C analysis, we found some hot springs are mixed with recent groundwater and hot spring water ages were estimated from 1,940 to 32,800 years. And also, ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra were determined simultaneously in hot spring water, and some other radionuclides were also analyzed. Content distribution of ²²²Rn was 50–3,760 pCi/L, ²²⁶Ra was <0.003–0.15 Bq/L and ²²⁸Ra was below the detection limit.
