Dunno. Radioactive cesiu...> distinguish ... why<br />Dunno. Radioactive cesium's decay path goes through Barium-137 which emits a gamma, perhaps that's what they're detecting?<br />http://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/how3.html<br /><br />Radioactive potassium goes through one of three paths, I recall<br /><br />Those with high blood pressure using a potassium chloride salt substitute probably get more than banana-addicts.Hank Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521410755553979665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-36327524151888768742012-04-02T11:42:34.447+01:002012-04-02T11:42:34.447+01:00Assuming the testing can distinguish...probably ba...Assuming the testing can distinguish...probably bananas will get through.
