Re[2]: The Tooth Fairy project

[Vincent.King@doegjpo.com (Vincent King)]

     Patricia, 
     
     As a matter of fact, this was asked very clearly before (see 'Norm, 
     Round One' messages from a few months ago), but there was never an 
     answer.  I don't expect there to be an answer this time either.
     
     The reason is that the Tooth Fairy people want to surround their 
     'project' with a pseudo-scientific aura to give it credibility with 
     the uninformed; they do not want to obtain or publish simple, 
     direct, and irrefutable data from a properly designed study, 
     because they know the results would conflict with their message.
     
     Unless you have a better answer for why a straigthforward route 
     isn't being used, Norm?

Norm and Radsafe folks,
   
At the risk of asking a very naive question  (apologies to all if this has been
asked before) :If the tooth fairy project is convinced that nuclear power plants
are emitting Sr90 at such levels, why  do they not sample the water, air, soil
     and vegetation around  all nuclear power plants?
