In principle, 90Sr does occur naturally. Both cosmogenic neutrons
inducing fission and spontaneous fission of uranium in the earth are
occurring all the time. Needless to say the levels are miniscule compared
to that produced by the bomb tests. But as a matter of principle, all
the products of a nuclear reactor are in fact "natural".
