Natural radioactivity in a Texas lignite field and in leachates from lignite ash from power plants was measured. The radioactivity concentrations found (4 ppM uranium in the lignite, 16 ppM uranium in the lignite ash, and a few picocuries of natural radionuclides per liter in the leachates) do not differ appreciably from those found previously in similar samples and in natural materials such as soils and ground waters. Additional information on stable elements are reported for both the lignites and the leachates.
