There’s been an ever increasing number of reports about mysterious
radioactive spikes observed across Europe. However, no official
announcement has been made by any of the
EU states, as officials are trying to downplay these reports as if they
were mere allegations. As it’s been noted by the Independent,
Iodine-131 is a man-made radioactive material that is being found in
small amounts across the continent. It was found in northern Norway
early in January, but has been gradually moving across the rest of
Europe ever since. This radionuclide is among the main elements produced
during nuclear fission, when uranium or plutonium is used as a fuel.
High concentration levels of this radioisotope of iodine have been
registered during nuclear tests and after the Chernobyl nuclear
disaster.
