Nuke agency reports unusual radiation in Europe

I think the concern here is if someone is moving ratioactive material and for what purpose not that these low doses of radiation are bad for people.

It is not us, but I will double check.

There is a lot more to this story....stay tuned!

I think this is being done on purpose.

Maybe it's all those decaying Euros.

Stick with coal. We have 700 years of it left. It's cheap. Best of all environmentalist hate it. What more could you ask for.

The half life of Iodine-131 is 8 days. That means that you don't get it from nuclear waste - you have to get it from active reactors or very recent nuclear weapon detonations. So someone's reactor is leaking.

Ah, yes. As the world continues to run away from safe nuclear energy as we're told that solar and wind power are the wave of the future. Sadly, the truth of the matter is that those two power sources aren't worth the panels and windmills it takes to generate the power. Maybe if there were 150 million fewer american's it might work, maybe.

Nuclear power is the only thing that could possibly drive the technology of tomorrow. You people that drive electric cars because they're 'better' for the environment make me laugh. The power is generated by coal, and lithium ion batteries are so much worse than you can imagine.

I-131 is produced by fission of uranium and its half-life is 8 days. If you see it anywhere, you can be sure there's been some sort of uncontrolled fission event. Once you rule out an actual nuclear explosion (I hope that's easy), you next look at reactor meltdowns. In my mind, that's the most likely explanation. And the authorities would NEVER try to cover up something like that, would they?

Cause Unknown?

You mean that Nuke Plant in Russia that's on fire right now? You know, the one 4 times bigger than Chernobyl?

It's the same nuke fire that a US Official recently told some friends in Europe to "get out of dodge" now.

Come on Yahoo, you can do batter than this, I did most of the work for ya.......

I wouldn't worry...probably just some stolen nuclear material from the former ussr in the hands of black marketeers or islamic terrorist

I'd start looking at satelite photos of Russia. Their reactors are the most unstable in their design. When Chernobyl melted down the radiation alarms started to sound in Sweden. Sweden checked their reactors and didn't find any leaks. Other countries nearby also started checking their reactors. Eventually they started looking at satelite photos and soon found that the top of reactor number 4 at Chernobyl was blown off,.......Apparently the Soviet Union didn't think it was all that important to tell anyone about their meltdown until three days later.

Relax. It is just the meltdown of the European Union.

This isn't the type of radiation one would expect to see if it were terrorism related.

Hey let's all live in a cave and wipe our #$%$ with a leaf,so the powerful (rich libs) have all the engery they need to control us.

That form of iodine comes from "regular" discharges out of nuclear power plants. So somwhere, a nuke is going bad, and the operators are illegally dumping the excess radiation out the vent stack, and not telling anyone.

crazy people making crazy people more crazy :(

It's the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine.

Their is a new helium cooled nuclear reactor that uses carbon coated uranium pellets and CAN'T melt down. If power is lost or it loses it's coolant the reactor automatically shuts down.

What's the update on this story?
