Azor...actually if the reports of i131 are indeed accurate and widespread the source could have been a Russian nuclear sub....as that harbor is far enough north and the wind currents have been coming from first easterly then lately westerly....as the weather patterns have been changing...
All sources indicate that this type of radiation is inherently tied to a nuclear reactor not a nuclear weapon...
So actually you might be right as the Russian Navy does not have a great safety track record on their subs...ie sinkings...fires during repairs etc....and an accidental release might have occurred if they were either changing out the reactor rods and or decommissioning an older nuclear sub....

A reminder is due. When the SSN Kursk exploded in 2000 and sank in the Barents Sea (during an exercise) it took five days before the Russians requested help. For a lot more:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_submarine_disaster
Leaving Russia aside it appears that a number of nations have preferred not to publicize the incident, let alone the consequent radioactivity.

Lack of seismographic evidence points towards a reactor mishap or fuelling accident.
Serious issue either way.
WHO..WHAT....WHERE...and the very important WHY is still not available....
