<nod> As some sheep farmers in Wales found out after Chernobyl. Most (but not all) of those contaminated hill farms were only given the all-clear to stop monitoring their sheep last year. The stuff kept getting recycled -- windblown dust from Forn Parts fell on the grass in 1986, the grass was eaten by sheep, then, erm, deposited back on the grass; wash, rinse, repeat. The levels finally came down more because of the half-life of 90Sr than the stuff actually getting washed away by rain.
