[ RadSafe ] I-131 in milk and activity on spinach around Fukushima

[parthasarathy k s]

It could very well be surface deposits. It does not matter. It may end up in the 
human body.

I am puzled with this. Perhaps it seems OK to find I-131 in milk so soon, but in 
spinach? Can a metal move so fast in a plant's uptake cycle? Does this seem 
reasonable to you?

(Perhaps I should also add that the hysteria here has reached to the point where 
people are afraid they might also have I-131 in their food.)
