What a great program. Not many people realize the extent of the environmental monitoring that goes on around the nuclear plants. For example, did you know they routinely pick up road-kill to test radiation levels in wildlife? And in case you (or anyone reading this) are worried about what the results will be: I would be incredibly shocked if anything you grow measures much above background levels of radiation. What a fun program. I wish I lived closer to Pickering so I could participate! Mel That’s so cool! What a great program.
