Has this hypothesis been studied in animals?  A good

starting point is NCRP Report 128.  As noted in

Appendix A.22, "In monkeys, the bi-directional

transport of Ca-45 and Ca-49 was found to be have a

rate 6 to 10 times that required for growth." It would

appear to me that the maternal intake may not

correlate well with uptake in the fetus. 



So, is Ca-45 a good "marker" for fetal dose from

fallout?  I think not.  At what point do doses to the

fetal affect the developing immune system?  Do you

think any of these issues were researched the TFP?



But again, this is a grade school science project

based on "I think this is true so I will prove it."
