[ RadSafe ] Sr-90 in milk (re-named)

[Glenn R. Marshall]

Sr-89 is predominantly a medical radionuclide, whereas Sr-90 predominantly exists as a fission product.  I believe its primary use is treatment of bone cancer.  

With increased testing for every radionuclide on the chart, it's not surprising traces of oddball species pop up.

         A trace.  Well, my goodness, it sounds like time to panic.  (You go first, Chris, and show us how it's done.)
