(28,707 posts)I gave you a straight answer and because you're predisposed to think that things are worse than they are... you thought it was evasion and "games".
I asked it it is incorporated into human bone in the same manner that Strontium-90 is.
What's "in the same manner"?
You have somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 Bq of Potassium 40 and Carbon 14 in your body (yes, including your bones).
Or do you deny that Strontium 90 can pose any sort of unique problems in that regard?
It isn't unique in that regard. It's the one that's most "bone seeking" of the isotopes that you could be exposed to in a reactor accident, but radium is as well and you'll run into that in nature. Barium has at least one isotope that's a daughter of one of the cesium parents and it's also a bone seeker.
