  • I retrace the blog article about contaminated mushroom from Chernobyl fall out. Since it is a bit long, I will post it in its own blog.
  •  WOW Rosemary that is exceptional infomation thanks also.
  • Thanks, Rosemary.  That is useful information.
  • Keith, no offense taken. Cheryl, The Berkeley study is in line with research that I did for my blog. What i found is that the uptake of iodine 131 and Ceasium 137 is dependent with the roots system of plants. If a root system is fibrous (strawberries), the uptake will be higher. Tap roots uptake is less (carrots). After Chernobyl, the Russian discovered that if they remove the top 5 cm of topsoil (2 inches), the soil was not radioactive. The Russian created a special plow bar that just did that. Radiation does not move rapidly into the soil. The Finns discovered that if they boiled mushrooms, the radiation with go into the boiled water. Simple filtration and burial would be safe. The season and the type of soil have also a bearing on radioactive uptake.
  • Rosemary, here is a chart that lists states/cities and what kind of radioactive elements were found in drinking water.  This chart is from March to June 1st:  http://opendata.socrata.com/Government/Drinking-Water-RadNet-Labora...

  • Rosemary, I haven't seen a current list of what is spewing, but there was a massive release that I just posted.
  • I remember reading they were moving Plum Island facilities to the center of the US, then I lost track.  I had the same conclusion on why they were moving it away from the coastline.
  • i REMEMBER THE PEOPLE THERE FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS AND TRIED TO BLOCK IT, NEVER SAW A FOLLOW UP.
