TMI, Hershey, and radioactive milk?

Someone who for the time  being wants to remain anonymous sent me the
following last week. He & his colleagues were  sworn to secrecy.
 The milk farms are near Mechanisburg, Pa. 13 miles from TMI.  Let's all
keep in mind the ongoing cover up:

To answer some of your questions:

 1.  Hershey asked the court to seal the I-131 data from their two milk
farms,
>stating that it would hurt them financially if the data got out.  I feel
 confident this is no longer the case, although it does point to the
enormous
 power a private co. has with the court.

  You should know, too, that a number of us have seen cow milk data from
near
Mechanicsburg, PA, showing >21,000 pCi/l I-131 from samples collected from
two farms on 29 March 1979 (second day of the accident).  These farms were
about 12-13 miles west.  The cattle were on hay, not grass; hence, this
I-131
was inhaled rather than ingested.

During the TMI trial, we were sworn to secrecy regarding these data;
however,
a number of us have decided to go public with it, since it is such a
valuable
confirmation that much more I-131 (and other radionuclides as well) were
released.
