Most of this is likely just cuttings from the Bakken Shales. The shales read high on the Gamma Ray Logs, and the cuttings would, too. No matter where you go in the deeper part of the Williston Basin, that rock is only a couple of miles away, at most (straight down). Before you get upset, short of having extremely high flourine content in the water, the radioactive uranium and thorium atoms aren't going anywhere. The organics in the Bakken Shale adsorbed them a long time ago in a chemical reaction similar to the one that binds uranium to coal in some parts of the SW part of ND. Those ions are highly unlikely to migrate anywhere.
