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

[Pete_Bailey at fpl.com]

Probably Southern hemisphere too is not Sr free.
Other than NZ or AU, probably not as much
Rad Environ Monitoring (like northern hemi) occurs, so we may not know...



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,  . . .
