Cesium-134 and -137 detected in sand from San Francisco Bay Area yard

UC Berkeley Nuclear Engineering Air Monitoring Station, July 13, 2012:

We measured a sample of sand from a yard in the Bay Area. As we have seen in the various soil measurements we have made in the Bay Area, very tiny amounts of Cs-134 and Cs-137 can be detected by our very sensitive germanium . . . → Read More: Cesium-134 and -137 detected in sand from San Francisco Bay Area yard
