Hello Strontium

"Minute amounts of radioactive strontium have been detected in soil and plants in Fukushima Prefecture beyond the 30-kilometer zone around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the science ministry said Tuesday." ...

"Samples of soil and plants were taken March 16 to 19 from a number of locations in Fukushima Prefecture.

The government has designated the area within a 20-km radius of the plant as an evacuation zone, while people residing in areas in the 20- to 30-km ring have been asked to remain indoors. On Monday, the government expanded the evacuation zone to some municipalities beyond the 20-km radius where residents will evacuate in around a month."

Nice of them to finally get around to publicizing this and also get around to broadening the evacuation zone.

Any plans to test for Strontium radionuclides UCB?
