Ah, a small glimmer of hoe! An actual acknowledgment that the levels
in the Long Island teeth are lower than other areas. I would also
expect that if they analyzed teeth (assumes good laboratory analysis
techniques are employed) from areas where there isn't a nuclear plant
of any kind for 500 miles or more, that they would see the same type
of results.
Sue Gagner is absolutely correct when she stated "If there's any
trace of strontium-90 showing up in baby teeth today it is likely the
result of earlier atmospheric bomb tests, rather than infinitesimal
releases from nuclear power plants," said Sue Gagner, a spokeswoman
for the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Progress was made in
that the articvle actually included thia quote.
