Which consequence results when thorium-232 contamination occurs within groundwater aquifers?

💡 Explanation

Thorium decay produces alpha particles. Alpha decay causes water radiolysis because water molecules absorb their energy within a short distance, breaking bonds and forming radicals; therefore, enhanced radiolysis happens next to thorium, rather than pressure increase from beta decay, or complexation changes.
