Strontium 90 Radiation Risks From Bomb Tests Cited
AEC official Merril Eisenbud told a Senate subcommittee that Strontium 90 from H-bomb fallout would yield far less radiation than natural causes over a 70 year life. He cited conservative estimates of 1 to 18 percent of natural dosage. The hearing also heard projections of 82 million dead in a 250-bomb attack and a Agriculture Department report that radioactive fallout accumulates in soil and vegetation, entering dairy via cows and milk.
