Does it surprise anyone that Cs is the poster boy for radiocontamination monitoring? That's the one that gives the reassuring numbers.
Show us the Strontium results. -
oops, posted on wrong account. Pastis Francoise is me. I have another point, looking at some of the comments below, particularly NoMoreRainLondon. The conversion of Grays to Sieverts is undertaken on the basis of a weighting factor, where alpha particle emitters (like Po210 and K40) are considered far more dangerous biologically, and therefore given a higher weighting by three orders of magnitude. That's where the comparisons to Cs in fish to eating bananas etc comes from. However, no weighting whatsover is given to the biological halflife of each substance, or its morbidity pathways. K10 is highly mobile and stays in the body 10 days, so eating bananas is no big deal. Same for Cs exposure. And Po210. Sr has a biological halflife of 50 years and remains fixed in the body, vastly increasing the potential for damage.
Little wonder it is so hard to find food safety standards for Sr. There is no safe level of Sr to consume. -
were all fucked
Our Land, Air and Oceans have all been damaged by Nuclear Fission !!
How many nuclear power plants currently cause environmental damage ? all of them !!
The Oceans are supposed to supply us with food to eat !!
Nuclear waste anywhere on land eventually gets into our Oceans, our Water !!
this is sad...
