[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM1MTM5Njg0X0U2QkQ4M0I3] Imagine that... Fukushima gov't tried to kill proposal to store baby teeth for future radiation checks http://mainichi.jp/english/english/newsselect/news/20121219p2a00m0na016000c.html [snip] In September 2011, Fukushima Prefectural Assembly member Junko Yaginuma asked the prefectural government if it should urge local residents to store baby teeth that came out after the March 2011 reactor meltdowns for future analysis of children's strontium-90 exposure. Strontium-90, released in the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant disaster, has biochemical features similar to calcium and can easily accumulate in bones and teeth. After receiving Yaginuma's query, the prefecture sent an email to members of a committee overseeing a prefectural health survey and asked them to provide plausible reasons to reject the proposal. The prefectural government called the proposal a plant by anti-nuclear groups. The survey committee has been mired in a string of other problems, including holding advance "secret meetings" to harmonize expert opinions over how to do health checks of local residents in the wake of the meltdowns. The latest revelation is yet more evidence that the Fukushima Prefectural Government tried to block opinions it considered unfavorable. According to sources with knowledge of the issue, an official at the prefecture's health and welfare division -- which serves as the health check committee's secretariat -- sent an email to committee members. In the email, the official said, "Are there any findings or information that suggest that there is not much point in storing baby teeth?" adding, "It is not the assemblyperson who asked that question, but it appears to be an argument made by anti-nuclear people. So, we don't wish to take up the question." [/quote]
