Re: need info fast!
Hi
A Banana has roughly 3520 pCi/kg of K-40. I am Faxing you a page from the
CRC handbook of Radiation Measurement and Protection, by Allen Brodsky
that shows many foods and their radioactivity.
I will ask around the office about the background dose in Spokane, but
would say it is a bit higher than the US average.
