Nov. 11 — Dr Geza Safrany of Hungary’s National Research Institute for Radiobiology and Radiohygiene told Reuters:
- “A very minimal increase in activity was registered (in Hungary) on Nov. 5 … but this is far below the levels found after Fukushima”
- “For the time being the source of the leakage cannot be determined”
- Detections were made at monitoring stations in Budapest and the eastern town of Miskolc
- He said it was unlikely Hungary would be the source of the leakage as it was detected in several places in Europe

Not from Fukushima? Ho, ho, he, he ha ha….You could practically track it across the globe. Japan admitted to fresh nuclear reactions yielding piles of Iodine 131, then last week one of our posters listed high cpm readings across the country, following the jetstream. Another few days and voila – it’s in Europe – diminished yes, with a short half life it will do that, but it damn sure did come from Fukushima. Oh, no it didn’t – look over there – isn’t that an old radium bottle?

Nuke agency reports unusual radiation in Europe

I do fear that it is from Fuku’s latest roubd of fissioning. I wish they would be honest about when these releases occur so that the rest of the world has a heads up and knows to stay indoors/keep their children indoor. TEPCO and the Japanese government are incredibly selfish, in addition to being incompetent and world.
Here is another article that also denies it’s from Fuku:
http://news.yahoo.com/nuke-agency-reports-unusual-radiation-europe-134506410.html
In the spirit of devil’s advocate, is there any chance this could be from Iran? Alternatively, someone posted something on the discussion board recently about increased radiation being detected in Pakistan. Strangely, the source they were quoting attributed it to “Soviet” weapons testing.
While Fuku seems like the most obvious suspect (and the worst for us, since their iodine reaches us before Europe), the sad reality is that so much nuclear activity is occurring around the globe that Fuku is not the only possibility.
I wonder why so many European entities are so quick to say it is not from Fukushima?

roubt = round (sorry)

that should say “incompetent and corrupt”
Perhaps that’s a Freudian slip, as the (non)response to this event has convinced me that most of the world is corrupt too

Assuming it is from Japan, a really annoying aspect of this is the fact that not a single US source reported any elevated readings. Why do we have to wait until it passes over us and reaches Europe for there to be ANY official acknowledgement of it?
The EPA as well as all of the nuke plants in this country betray their fellow citizens when they have the equipment to detect such spikes and they do not warn the public.

Good question. I don’t know why either. I’m almost agreeing with the repubs to SHUT DOWN the EPA. They do us no good!!

so it hit southern france on the early hours of the 4th then a small rise in the north by the evening then got to hungary by the fifth??? there is only a two hour time difference between the initial spectrographic evidence from criirad…
jet stream or regional nuclear cover up??

archlight, anytime u like drop your rad links at rc … i’ll ask Hx3 to add to dropdown menus, gathered as research and precautionary tools for all. Jet streams and rad monitoring links are very exciting. Try as I can, I miss so many grate reference posts, so any who have them please ….

Everyone should go in and take a look at the beta graphs from the EPA fed so nicely by Alexander Higgins
http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2011/04/12/realtime-epa-radnet-japan-nuclear-radiation-monitoring-every-us-city-single-page-16511/
Some cities are not reporting and some cities are obviously fudging data.
Despite these problems in the reporting, one can see very unusual and dangerous beta counts (for sustained periods) across the country.
20 to 40 is “normal” background. Many cities often have 0 beta count. 4X background is considered a health risk by the EPA for emergency responders.
Across the country we have levels spiking up routinely around 300 to 600 and many areas have sustained spikes up to 950 (and probably higher given some notable straight lines on the chart indicting censorship).
Fukushima is definitely getting worse in terms of the radiation released.
The question is why are the European countries bothering to report the elevated levels if they are going to deny it is from Fukushima?
What are the “deep politics” here? Are the European countries offering a gentle warning that they are going to get louder about what they are seeing?
Why the denial that this is coming from fukushima?
My worst nightmare is that the level of denial is in direct proportion to the unmanageable scale of the disaster.

“[...] but this is far below the levels found after Fukushima”
And what were the levels registered after Fukushima then ? I can’t remember those readings being made public.
Report Comment
I was thinking the same thing? I would like to see there data! I am assuming they are talking about measurements from the same location? Levels registered after Fukushima outside the front gate were nothing to worry about either, so is this what is meant? No real comparison to compare data with. Same old story…. no short term health effects and you get more rads eating a banana or flying.
Peace.
