Detection of radioactivity at trace levels over Europe in 2017

[Azor]

I had initially posted a series of comments concerning this i131 being detected as well....but pulled them off

Especially the fact that a US WC-130 nuclear radiation detection aircraft had been deployed to UK...this week....

That the radiation was first detected in the area of Finland and northern Norway and that it had been mentioned on social media that potentially that the Russians had detonated a small tactical nuke or an nuclear mine called ADM...

Problem is i131 is usually associated with radiation released from nuclear rods in a NPP..not necessarily from a small tactical nuke.

And if a tactical nuke there would have been a minor earthquake detected as well and none were detected in Europe THUS the potential of a NPP problem might be the answer that no one wanted to alarm the public about.

But radiation spread that far is highly unusual....even for i131...

Social commenters out of Ukraine were the first to wave off on the comments as they did not detect the normal earthquake one would have expected with a nuke detonation...they viewed it to be Russian disinformation....

Could this be the result of a radioactive incident in Murmansk? Perhaps related to a SSBN?

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....
