Jersey Evening Post, Feb 25, 2017 (emphasis added): Radioactive cloud could be heading our way — A CLOUD of mysterious radioactive particles floating across Europe… could enter Jersey airspace, Environmental Health have said… scientists have yet to work out where the radiation comes from… Caroline Maffia, assistant director of Environmental Health in Jersey, said the department was aware of the situation but 24-hour-a-day air monitors placed across the Island had not detected anything yet. CAPTION: ‘We are not picking up anything at this moment. We are slightly out of the way of where it seems to be going but depending on wind direction we could detect something here,’ said Ms Maffia.
Wakefield Express, Feb 24, 2017: Mysterious radioactive cloud moves towards UK… The spike has sparked speculation that Russian president Vladimir Putin is testing nuclear weapons… However, the CTBTO (Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation) ruled out a nuclear test had recently taken place… It’s possible that the particles could have come from an incident at a nuclear reactor. The compounds may also have also come from an Iodine plant. Iodine-131 has a very short half life of just eight days, making it very radioactive…
Euronews, Feb 23, 2017: Europe baffled by “recent release” of radioactive Iodine-131… France’s IRSN stresses the amounts of radiation detected pose no health threats, but says its “detection is proof of a rather recent release”… Iodine-131, as described by the IRSN, is of anthropogenic origins – meaning an environmental pollutant originating from human activity… The mysterious origin of the radioactive element has baffled authorities, some of whom claim its presence could indicate either a secret Russian nuclear missile test launch, or a leak from a nuclear power plant. Iodine-131 has historical links to United States and Soviet nuclear tests… It has also been found among the radioactive contamination following Japan’s Fukushima reactor meltdown… The element is also commonly used in medicine… leading to speculation of a yet unidentified, or reported, leak at a pharmaceutical plant.
Popular Mechanics claims in a headline that “European Mystery Radiation Isn’t Real”.

It was particulate I-131 that was detected & reported, which implies 3 to 5 times more gaseous I-131 IF it came from a reactor. The reason they say it wasn't from a reactor accident is because the (undisclosed) Cesium-137 measurements were likely within a range that is not considered highly unusual.

Government agencies have not come forward to explain the radiation. Experts, however, say the leaks are not a mystery.
Scientist Jayde Lovell, host of TYT network’s ScIQ and executive director of ReAgency, a PR firm that specializes in science storytelling, told the International Business Times UK, “Iodine-131 is not a mystery.
“It’s released in low levels normally as part of nuclear power and, since nuclear power is common throughout Europe, it’s not unusual to be able to detect trace amounts during certain types of weather, particularly the cold weather of a European winter,” she told the newspaper.
“I would be expecting to see a lot more and more different kinds of radiation than just Iodine-131 if it was a nuclear test,” Lovell said.

Radioactive release from Norwegian research reactor
A small amount of radioactive iodine was released into the environment yesterday during an incident involving the handling of test fuel in the reactor hall of the Halden research reactor in Norway.
The Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), which operates the reactor, said a "technical fault" occurred at 1.45pm yesterday whilst fuel was being handled in the reactor hall. At that time, the reactor itself was offline for maintenence. The incident resulted in the release of radioactive Iodine-131 and Iodine-132 to the reactor hall and led to an emission into the environment.

These articles need caveats, asterisks, footnotes or other means of further explanations. Any radioactivity above background levels is a danger especially to children and more so to little girls. But that doesn't seem as important as protecting a favorable image of the nuclear industry. Military or public or private.
More than a month has past with still no official statement on a source for this radiation release. Plenty of reporting stations in Europe have warned of a release. How long before the little people get results back from the US flying real time fallout sensing plane?
Nuke bombs are cleaner that nuke power plant accidents and specific radioisotopes manufacturing plants less contaminating than the other two. Test reactor accidents would fall somewhere in between. A spent fuel pool accident would be the worst of all of them.

Fresh Fukushima Fish – "NAMIE, Fukushima Prefecture–Fishing boats returned to their home port on Feb. 25 for the first time in six years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant wreaked havoc here.
The Ukedo fishing port, located seven kilometers north of the nuclear plant, was destroyed by the tsunami caused by the powerful earthquake in March 2011. In addition, nearby areas of the sea were contaminated by radioactive substances discharged from the crippled plant.
Since then, the reconstruction of the port has started and the work is ongoing.
On Feb. 25, 26 fishing boats entered the port to prepare for the start of the fishing season of “kounago,” or young fish of “ikanago” (Japanese sand lance), in mid-March. Fishing is scheduled to resume in waters that are more than 10 km from the nuclear plant."

Industrial radioactive tracer uses
Since late 1940s, radioactive tracers have been used by the oil industry. Tagged at the surface, water is then tracked downhole, using the appropriated gamma detector, to determine flows and detect underground leaks. I-131 has been the most widely used tagging isotope in an aqueous solution of sodium iodide.[3][47][48] It is used to characterize the hydraulic fracturing fluid to help determine the injection profile and location of fractures created by hydraulic fracturing.[49][50][51]

A while back a CANDU reactor in Canada shutdown (was leaking tritium) resulting in a worldwide shortage of industrial and medical radioisotopes. One CANDU claim to fame is you can remove individual fuel rods while the reactor is in operation; Then process the fuel rod and extract whatever radioisotopes it was being burned for without shutting down the entire reactor.
'Iodine-131'
",,,Due to its mode of beta decay, iodine-131 is notable for causing mutation and death in cells that it penetrates, and other cells up to several millimeters away. For this reason, high doses of the isotope are sometimes less dangerous than low doses, since they tend to kill thyroid tissues that would otherwise become cancerous as a result of the radiation. For example, children treated with moderate dose of I-131 for thyroid adenomas had a detectable increase in thyroid cancer, but children treated with a much higher dose did not.[citation needed] Likewise, most studies of very-high-dose I-131 for treatment of Graves disease have failed to find any increase in thyroid cancer, even though there is linear increase in thyroid cancer risk with I-131 absorption at moderate doses.[2] Thus, iodine-131 is increasingly less employed in small doses in medical use (especially in children), but increasingly is used only in large and maximal treatment doses, as a way of killing targeted tissues. This is known as "therapeutic use…"

Hungary isotope lab likely radioactive source: IAEA – Nov 17, 2011
Hungary believes the source of low levels of radioactive iodine detected in Europe over the past few weeks was probably an isotope maker in Budapest, the U.N. nuclear agency said on Thursday.
Hungary's nuclear authority told the International Atomic Energy Agency that iodine-131 had been released from the Institute of Isotopes Ltd from September 8 to November 16.
"The cause of the release is under investigation," the Vienna-based IAEA said in a statement.
"The levels of Iodine-131 that have been detected in Europe are extremely low. There is no health concern to the population." Iodine-131, linked to cancer if found in high doses, can contaminate products such as milk and vegetables.
The IAEA, the Vienna-based U.N. nuclear watchdog, announced on Friday that the traces had been detected in Europe, after it was tipped off by authorities in the Czech Republic.

The Hungarian nuclear plants are old and operating on an extension. They had a serious incident that released radioactivity, although it was considered negligible compared to background radiation.
cladding on the majority of the 30 fuel elements had been broken, with radioactive spent uranium fuel pellets spilling from the elements into the bottom of the cleaning tank. Apart from the release of radioactive material, a concern was that the accumulation of a compact mass of fuel pellets could lead to a criticality accident, as the pellets were in a tank of neutron moderating water. Water containing neutron absorbing boric acid was added into the tank to raise its concentration to 16 g/kg to prevent this. Ammonia and hydrazine were also added to the water to help with the removal of radioactive iodine-131.
At Fukushima, they also poured a lot of hydrazine into the SFP of unit 4
An investigation by the Hungarian Atomic Energy Agency concluded that the cause of the incident was inadequate cooling of the fuel elements, which were heated due to the radioactive decay of short-lived fission products.

A melt down? Right?

Rumor is this is from 2 tactical nukes set off in Ukraine

– which is why it would make complete sense for a US plane to be in the area. Something is going on there and it's nothing to do with reactors.

Really? From the French article:
"France’s IRSN stresses the amounts of radiation detected pose no health threats, but says its “detection is proof of a rather recent release”."
How can anyone say 131I poses no health threat? It is a false statement on its face!
But the first link: "Ms Maffia of Jersey"? Is that a joke?

Does the nuclear industry claim that there is a constant amount of I-131 in background radiation levels? If that were true then the nuke industry has really degraded the environment to a point that a short lived radioisotope like I-131 is always present since it is always being replaced before it has a chance to decay away with a half life of 8.0197 days (would be gone in about 80 days).

You make a good point…are radionuclides like Iodine-131 now constantly being released into the air, and are we then constantly being exposed to them?
(1) Radiation monitoring systems like EURDEP and RADNET have a list of radionuclides they monitor for.
On the lists are Iodine131, Strontium90, Tritium, Thorium, Lead, Uranium, etc.
These radionuclides are tested for and ARE found around nuclear power plants in the air, milk, water, fish, cattle, etc., as shown in NRC's Environmental reports:
https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/tritium/plant-info.html
(2) That means that at any time, these radionuclides can be released into the air and may be found in our air, food, water, rain and snow
(3) In 2011, Iodine-131 was released into the air by the Budapest Medical Isotope Institute in Hungary for +/- 2 months.
Imagine being outside jogging or gardening during those 2 months.
You end up sick but no one ties it to Iodine-131 released.
"arclight" says those Iodine releases ****cover**** Europe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_30LrqgHqg
(4) Remember Greenpeace found Krytpon-85 released from LaHague all over rooftops in Europe?
So I think it's safe to say that these radionuclides are constantly being released either from nuclear power plants or medical isotope facilities (or through burning of nuclear waste), etc., and it's just a crap-shoot whether or not we are exposed to them on any particular day.

Before & More Dangerous Than Chernobyl.. Before & As Deadly Than Fukushima?..
ANDREEVA Description: Andreeva Bay Nuclear Waste
1982 -Bay Storage Base on the Kola Peninsula, Russia
At the time of the accident, there were approximately 2,550 containers holding between 12,750-17,850 spent fuel assemblies which translates into 54-76 reactor cores.
Although most information remains classified, environmental groups consider it hundreds of times more dangerous than the 1986 Chernobyl explosion.

,Authorities baffled'
Still?………STILL?…..
Authorities are still baffled after all these years?
None of them have noticed their seeing eye moles are nuked to a cinder and dragging behind on their leads?
Nah?

six year anniversary of Fuku? 365 days x 6 x 300 tons of leaking water = 657,000 tons and the place is more radioactive than ever.
And those bolted storage tanks designed to last maybe 5 years.
Robots still choking on radiation and keeling over dead.
Well on the way to 30 million cubic meters of rad waste-filled bags previously estimated. Bags designed to last about five years.
Waiting for the five year update from D-news… where the anniversary cake is a VERY LARGE bathtub shaped cake cutting. As the cake gets cut,sea snot and dead whales, seals, etc pour out. Frosting made of yellow mushy bone marrow, and colored to look like a NOAA tsunami map. And D says it's not too bad and sings happy birthday- you're screwed, happy birthday – PU, happy birthday nuclear renaissance, finest hour and completely harmless!

No conclusions, but this could be part of the puzzle for those trying to figure out where-oh-where the I-131 came from in January 2017. Apparently in early December 2016, a tiny trace of Te-132 was detected in the Arctic:
Tellurium-132 Detected in Arctic Norway (EURDEP, Dec. 3-4, 2016)

Lots of graphed data in preceding posts too. Gonna have to throw in the towel on this one…
For what it's worth, if anything…

This is exactly where the Iodine was in the atmosphere this past February and the US had a plane looking for the source!!

From distribution maps before the governments agreed to shut down data maps the spread of radiation was shown to tend to cross from japan all the way to Europe and settle, possibly due to convection currents of the jet stream impact with the European weather system, such an intersection could account for the nuclei collecting on dust and US chem-trail program particles and thereby the accumulation would of course appear to as increased.

Question:
Is there ANYONE in the nuclear energy industry that is not BAFFLED, BAMBOOZLED or plain old scratching their knackers in abject flunkarosity in relation to everything going wrong with the multiple leaking death boxes scattered around the planet?
Anyone?…….anyone at all?
No, sit down Mr Bean.
