No, there aren't.

This is beyond ridiculous. EVERYTHING in nuclear power plants, that can feasibly be a vector for a radiation leak, is heavily monitored. And radiation leaks into the coolant loops is the most obvious thing.

At levels that are not achievable outside a microwave.
Where did I say that? What came out the cooling stack was radioactive? You're presuming a mechanism. My whole point here is that the original paper just described an association. We don't know what the cause of that was or if the authors even did a competent study.
