Strontium 90 is about half the amount of Cesium in the sea water
Strontium 90 is one of the four major radio nuclides from the nuclear disaster that we need to be aware of. According to Prof. Koide, Kyoto University Reactor Research Institute, the amount of strontium90 that was discharged from Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was 1/1000 of Cesium 134/137, that doesn’t sound a lot comparing it with Cesium, but it’s considered to be very harmful to the environment: It is 300 times more radioactively toxic. While cesium can be out of body in 100 days, much of strontium 90 stays in bones of the body, and yet we don’t hear much about it. The Food Authority checks Iodine and Cesium but not Strontium 90 because it’s difficult to measure the exact amount. It costs £300 in Japan to measure one item and takes half a month. Therefore if you measure fish, they rot in this time. So there has been a tendency to ignore Strontium 90…….
