• “They also offer evidence of atmospheric releases of dangerously long-lived radioactive particles such as cesium and strontium -- releases denied by the Kemeny Commission but indicated in the Thompsons 'own post-disaster monitoring and detailed in the report -- and show that there were pathways for the radiation to escape into the environment.”
