European scientists have warned of a possible nuclear “incident” in the Arctic circle after finding radioactive Iodine-131 over large parts of Europe. According to the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, scientists do not know the origins of the radiation and are worried that its detection in Europe may indicate some kind of nuclear incident in the vicinity of the Arctic circle. Zerohedge.com reports: The air filter station at Svanhovd – located a few hundred meters from Norway’s border to Russia’s Kola Peninsula in the north – was the first to measure small amounts of the radioactive Ionide-131 in the second week of January. Shortly thereafter, the same Iodine-131 isotope was measured in Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. Within the next two weeks, traces of radioactivity, although in tiny amounts, were measured in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain. Norway was the first to measure the radioactivity, but France was the first to officially inform the public about it. “Iodine-131 a radionuclide of anthropogenic origin, has recently been detected in tiny amounts in the ground-level atmosphere in Europe. The preliminary report states it was first found during week 2 of January 2017 in northern Norway. Iodine-131 was also detected in [...]
