Comparison of the data from Core No. 3 with those from 

 analysis of sediments from the mud flat, across the river 

 and a little north of the diffuser (Table 12, below) raises 

 some other questions. Although the 137cs is about 50% 

 higher on the mud flat, assuming the top 6-cm were collected, 



the Pu concentration is significantly lower and shows no 

 elevation in ^-^oPu. In fact, on the basis of the data now 

 in hand, the mud-flat sediment looks more like material 

 transported from Bailey's Cove than it does like the core 

 from across the river. It is very evident that SSpe anal- 

 yses would help clarify this interpretation, as will 134cs 

 analyses that are now in process.
