[quote:citizenperth:MV8xNzAwNjEyXzI4MTAxNjkzX0VCMUI2Mzkx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 4927000:MV8xNzAwNjEyXzI4MTAxNjM5X0YxMjE2MjA1] Fukushima is certainly an enormous problem, but this is I-131, and it has a very short half life(8 days). That means that it would be detectable around the world at higher levels on the way(eastbound) to get to eastern europe, and that other radionuclides would be found in elevated levels along that path. Of course, we are deliberately not monitoring this stuff well - for unclear reasons. There is another radiation source that's doing the I-131 thing, and we'd better find it. Meanwhile, supplementing with aged supplements will keep the thyroid from absorbing the radioactive stuff. There's more to the world nuclear situation than we're currently aware of. Maybe another leaking nuke, or a test...... [/quote] correct.. at this stage.. it couldn't have got there from fuku... somewhere closer.. damn.... [/quote]
Original Message
The U.N. nuclear agency is reporting "very low" — but higher than usual — levels of radiation in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in Europe.
The International Atomic Energy Agency says the "very low levels of iodine-131 have been measured in the atmosphere over the Czech Republic" and elsewhere on the continent.
IAEA says the cause is not known, but it is not the result of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which spread radiation across the globe in March.
