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.
