Radioactive Tritium, Cobalt 60 Found in Monitoring Well Near Callaway Nuclear Reactor CBS St Louis, 
Kevin Killeen August 4, 2014 ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Ameren Missouri claims there is no threat to drinking water in the area after it found radioactive Tritium and Cobalt 60 in a monitoring well near the Callaway nuclear reactor it owns and operates……..Ed Smith, of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment, says the contaminents were found at levels above what is considered safe for drinking water, and anyone with a groundwater well in the area should have it tested right away.

“Groundwater doesn’t know boundaries,” Smith says. “So if the contamination happened on Ameren’s property, it could very well move off site.”…..http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/08/04/radioactive-tritium-cobalt-60-found-in-monitoring-well-near-nuclear-reactor/
