Abstract
In addition to tritium and radiocarbon, other cosmogenic isotopes are used to study the natural waters.
While considering the amounts and production rates of primary cosmic rays and secondary nuclear particles with the three main constituents of the atmosphere such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon were accounted for, but it has been pointed out that the nuclei of neon, krypton, and xenon, and also those of volcanic and meteoric origin, can make a certain contribution to the production of cosmogenic isotopes.
