In a cold war world, scientists must somehow learn how to extract the radioactive strontium 90 that is showered down on pasture grass from atmospheric nuclear tests. One solution makes use of ion exchange resins, bits of plasticlike material with metallic atoms built into their molecules. This material can be made to release certain elements in exchange for others. So when milk that has been slightly acidified with citric acid passes through the resin, it loses ITU of its strontium and picks Up a little extra sodium or calcium.
