Radioactive water found in AZ

News: "Radioactive water found in AZ

PHOENIX � Radioactive water was found by work crews this week near a maze of underground water pipes in Palo Verde, according to a March 6 Tucson KVOA News report.

According to the report, Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station operators are conducting tests to make sure radioactive water discovered near the plant hasn't seeped into the area's water supply.

The Arizona Public Service (APS) is working with state and federal officials to pinpoint the source of the contaminated water and determine how far it has spread, the statement said.

According to the report, initial tests confirmed the water contains more than three times the acceptable amount of tritium.
