Unless I am mistaken, all plants, prior to start-up, has to have a 
PSAR, EIS and eventually a FSAR documented. The environmental 
sampling would have defined the baseline for all future releases, 
after start-up. Therefore, I would expect that there is a baseline 
document that defines what the Sr-90 and other radioisotope 
concentrations in and around the site were.
