Concentrations of natural 129 I and 36 Cl in ground water from the Stripa granite, Sweden, were determined by accelerator mass spectrometry. The 129 I values range from 1× 10 6 to 2× 10 8 atoms 1− 1, orders of magnitude greater than the estimated background concentration in pre-1945 rainwater of 2× 10 4 atoms 1− 1. Expressed as a ratio 129 I 127 I, values range from 3× 10− 12 to 2× 10− 10, compared to about 1× 10− 12 in pre-1945 rainwater. Ratios, as well as concentrations, generally increase with sample depth, which ranges from 360 to> 1000 m below the surface. The accumulation of 129 I in the water is attributed to subsurface production by spontaneous fission of 238 U in micro-fractures in the granite matrix and subsequent transfer of this 129 I by diffusion into fractures constituting the flow system of the granite. Uncertainties in the spontaneous-fission yield at mass 129 and in the assumption of steady-state mass flux prevent quantitative estimates of the rate of 129 I transfer.
