Jan,

Sorry, what you are saying is misinformation because
the water in the ponds at nuclear sites have no contact
with nuclear material at all.

A side note that might be of interest is that at the
Nuclear site in Russia where they had the disaster they
have found that Sunflowers grow well in the nuclear
soil and seem to have a great affinity for pulling the
nuclear contaminants out of the soil fast and in larger
quantities than any plant they have found.

A friend of a friend at Rutgers is actually experimenting with this concept
now. Using plants to remove radiation from soil. Last I heard he was trying
tomato plants.
