Abstract: | Tritium and other stable isotopes in precipitation were analyzed on a monthly based on Jeju Island and in Daejeon Korea and variations between the island and continent were compared. The tritium concentration in Daejeon ranged from 2.27 to 15.71 TU and on Jeju from <0.5 to 5.4 TU. The maximum value of the tritium content was in March and the minimum in July and August due to the dilution effect of heavy rain. The tritium content in precipitation on Jeju Island was lower than in Daejeon and the results reflected the general tritium content value in the Northern Hemisphere. The stable isotope analysis results showed that the mean value of δ 18O (‰) was ?6.28 and ranged from ?11.70 to ?1.67. Further the mean δD (‰) value was ?36.33 and ranged from ?85.56 to 4.27. The mean deuterium excess value (d-value) was 13.89 ‰ and ranged from 3.33 to 33.61 ‰. |
