Think about this one. With all the monitoring stations, ONE would have detected the spike first. Then hours later, depending on the winds at that time, the other stations' measurements would have detected the abnormal increase. Question is, were there any US/Canada increases before Europe?

The reason someone's not reporting this might be fear of the consequences for the nuclear industry per se, not just for a facility, given this falls on the heels of Fukushima. But it also suggests the incident is somewhat minor for anyone to assume they could get away with it for long. But any leaking of isotopes like this is evidence against the safety of nuclear facilities. Higher-up authorities like at the IAEA could be worried enough that a double whammy to the industry could be so devastating wrt public opinion that this apparent cover-up might be more than some rouge facility with its fingers crossed. But of course this is all pure speculation. ???

@Ian A LOT of articles state, IAEA believes levels to be safe. To me, its the word 'believes' that is puzzling. Why not say, levels are safe.

And where has Greenpeace been since the Euro iodine story broke?

@elainekirk Yes, open. Its a pdf

@elainekirk did you get it open? There are addition links at the bottom of that site for more info.

@elainekirk Those dang foreign sites! :)

I'm surprised the BBC is not running any articles on the iodine in EU

Oh, it a weekend

All news is news to sell

@all I-131, cesium 134 and cesium 137 in Krško (Slovenia) Based on the public site European Radiological Data Exchange Platform, iodine-131 was detected only in Slovenia and Croatia, in four different places: in Zagreb, Ljubljana, Krsko, and the limit of three countries-Croatia Hungary-Serbia. Some remarks come to mind:



The information provided by the IAEA are incomplete (no map, location vague, no measure provided). It goes without saying that this is indeed retention of information. Why did the IAEA is only yesterday that news of iodine-131? Two weeks after these detections suspicious, it is clear that the organization already knows where the problem lies.



The information provided by the card available to the public by the European Commission are also incomplete: no information on the presence of iodine-131 in the five countries mentioned yesterday (Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia). Why this card is it not updated?



According to this map public, two nuclear power plants are likely to be affected by these releases of iodine-131: the Krsko nuclear power plant (Slovenia) and the Paks NPP (Hungary). But if you search with Cesium, only the Krško NPP is concerned because in Europe, only this site combines both iodine-131, cesium-134 and Cesium-137.
While this card on-line to inform the public is not a card to give a warning and may contain errors, it still gives a strong indication for an event will be spent in the last few weeks (or is still going?) in the Slovenian nuclear power plant. It is unimaginable that the IAEA does not know.



This plant has already had problems with leaks in 2008: June 4, 2008, a leak in the primary circuit of the reactor cooling system had taken place. And Fukushima, we know that a problem with a cooling system can give!



It is high time that the IAEA is due on the distribution of iodine-131, cesium-134, cesium-137 in Europe. If the Krško NPP had an accident, it is legitimate and urgent that the European public is informed as soon as possible! fukushima.over-blog.fr

Massive explosions at Tehran's military depot (thought to be site of nuclear tests).

@lillymunster I want a cocktail! :-)
