private station in Munich not showing any spike barbara320.gotdns.com
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 2:35:05 PM

Not seeing any spikes in German stations near the border. Maybe the wind is blowing other directions? So Austria, Poland, Slovakia

Articles I'm reading state the iodine-131 are not from Fukushima. IAEA is trying to identify the source of the particles found.

Lublin PL station no increase and no I-131 detected

Slight jump at this station in Slovenia www.radioaktivnost.si

Officials in Spain and Ukraine said they had not detected any abnormal radiation levels, and Romania's watchdog said there had been no incident at the country's sole nuclear plant. www.rte.ie

The scary thing about this is that you can't release I-131 without telling anybody. (And its not the sort of thing you do without knowing.) So someone must be trying to cover something up, which is in of itself unsustainable, as doesn't each plant have its own unique fingerprint?

I found a czech monitoring network but can't get the graphs to pull up www.sujb.cz
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 2:50:28 PM

I don't know if a plant has a unique fingerprint but between weather and concentrations they should be able to back track on a map to a rough location.

I hope Israel didn't bomb Iran's reactors for a little 11-11 present....and it couldn't be Fukushima because it would have been discovered before Czeckoslavakia, yes? I mean as far as the articles, there aren't much, and they're just asking some expert if it could be Fukushima, and the expert is saying of course not, and that's that. But we know that in theory its possible because of the melt through status, but it would probably show up in Korea, etc. first, I would think

**Austria**: Radioactive particles believe to be coming from an east southeasterly direction. lincolntribune.com
by MaryW 11/11/2011 2:55:29 PM

I got the czech site to work but it is all old data
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 2:56:44 PM

Ok so we know Austria may be the direction.

I don't think this has anything to do with Iran - we would be picking it up other places like Iraq, other nearby countries. IAEA and US military would have lots of detection equipment in the region right now

FOUND IT!
Austria - over last 3 weeks increases in 131 www.lebensministerium.at
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 2:59:05 PM

Twitter is pretty quiet...just the same short article tweeted over and over....good find Lilly, that makes sense...once the IAEA tells us something, its probably relatively old news. The Chezc authorities say that it doesn't seem to be anything on their borders as far as an accident or anything.
by wrshpr 11/11/2011 3:00:31 PM

@lillymunster It all depends on the time and locations the radioactive spike. And winds, too many factors. 3 weeks ago!!!...so release has been continuous...
by MaryW 11/11/2011 3:00:34 PM

From the radiation protection experts from the Ministry of Life studies and calculations were performed to clarify the origin of the radioactive cloud, or at least narrow it down. The results of dispersion calculations indicate that the source of the radioactive cloud would probably be looking to the southeast of Europe.

A release in Austria can be ruled out decisively. That a nuclear power plant is the source of the release is unlikely. According to initial feedback is also in other European countries at the same time for comparable iodine-131 levels were measured.
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 3:04:28 PM

@lillymunster Austria is ruling out THEIR nuke plant as the source of release
by MaryW 11/11/2011 3:06:43 PM

Now that's a region where if there was a release you might not hear about it. Does Israel have monitoring equipment readings online?
by wrshpr 11/11/2011 3:07:25 PM

Posted an update on the website and tweeted it - includes the Austria find.
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 3:08:40 PM

@MaryW I thought they were saying rules out any nuke plant
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 3:09:08 PM

Looking at Google's world map. That is a large amount of land and other countries for it to be anything in the middle east as the cause
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 3:11:07 PM

@lillymunster A person would have to go back 3+ weeks ago and thats near impossible
by MaryW 11/11/2011 3:12:09 PM

SE Europe: Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Greece, Turkey (maybe)

Czechs saying it isnt them. af.reuters.com
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 3:15:45 PM

nuke plants in Europe www.euronuclear.org

How long ago was the first quake in Turkey?
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 3:16:19 PM

@lillymunster At least we can rule out the countries that are admitting 'it isn't them'
by MaryW 11/11/2011 3:17:07 PM

Bulgaria - 2 plants, Romania = 2,
Turkey does not have any nuke plants yet
by lillymunster 11/11/2011 3:18:24 PM

the czech plant (temelin or so) is known to be dangerous.
by Edano 11/11/2011 3:18:39 PM

Ukrane is full of nuke plants - they are directly east

Nuclear stress tests - an interactive map maps.google.com

An interactive map showing how all active reactors and reprocessing plants (EU & CH) have fared under stress tests ordered by the EU after the Fukushima disaster.
