[ RadSafe ] re: fish near nuke plant contain Sr-90

[jjcohen at prodigy.net]

Atmospheric testing of nuclear explosives happened less than two Sr-90
half-lives ago. Can anyone identify any location in the northern hemisphere
known to be free of Sr-90??

Sr-90 mimics calcium in the system. Maybe the fish got the Sr-90 in its
system third or fourth hand. Who knows. I know Sr-90 does not occur
naturally, so it had to be introduced into the food matrix artificially.
That is obvious. But with a half-life of 29+ years, and the distance
some fish cover in their respective lifetimes, the Sr-90 could have come
from just about anywhere. Just because the fish was caught one place
doesn't mean that's anywhere near where it came into contact with the
radio-isotope.
