Seems tritium levels continue to rise, with more monitoring wells on the way:
Levels of tritium continue to rise in the well closest to the Connecticut River and within the mapped plume. Smith said that well, GZ14-S, was shallow and about 60 feet from the river. Tritium was measured at 370,000 picocuries per liter last week, up from 353,000 picocuries per liter on Aug. 16. That level of radioactivity is similar to water inside the reactor.

I’m hoping the Gundersons jump in here and post some thorough reporting on this.
aftermath can be so clever!
Who knew those rascally little radioactive isotopes could hide for 60 years, then jump into the ground thousands of miles away, right next to a leaking nuclear reactor? The little scamps!
