Title: Chernobyl still affects Norway
Source: The Foreigner
Author: Michael Sandelson
Date: Feb 21, 2012
Today, reports have surfaced that some sheep in certain parts of Norway contain 4,000 Becquerel per kilo of meat, almost six times higher than recommended by Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA) officials.The Norwegian Food Safety Authority’s Magnar Grudt tells NRK, “It’s way above the allowed limit for meat trading. 600 Becquerel per kilo is the maximum permitted for sheep.” [...]
” [...] we never thought we would still be measuring radioactivity in sheep today. It’s unthinkable.”

@CB I suggest everyone read cesium as defined in Wikipedia. the first thing that jumped out at me was why people report metallic taste. There is a lot information in there definition of cesium. Some very technical some easily understood. Here are some examples.
cesium is the chemical element with the symbol Cs. It is a soft, silvery-gold alkali metal with a melting point of 28 °C (82 °F), which makes it one of only five elemental metals that are liquid at (or near) room temperature. "GOLD METAL" yellow pollen? "LIQUID AT ROOM TEMP". metallic taste?
Almost all cesium produced from nuclear fission comes from beta decay of originally more neutron-rich fission products, passing through various isotopes of iodine and of xenon.[46] Because iodine and xenon are volatile and can diffuse through nuclear fuel or air, radioactive caesium is often created far from the original site of fission. THOSE MAPS OF XENON AND IODINE WE WERE TOLD WERE HARMLESS. THIS SAYS IT DECAYS INTO CESIUM FAR FROM ACCIDENT SITE. HOW MUCH IS RAINING DOWN ON USA DAY AFTER DAY.
THIS IS UNDER HEALTH AND SAFETY THERE IS A NICE GRAPH TOO
The portion of the total radiation dose (in air) contributed by each isotope versus time after the Chernobyl disaster depicting caesium-137 becoming the largest source of radiation about 200 days after the accident
Goiânia accident, is a short interesting reading. compare the amount of cesium in the report to the amount released at fukushima.

Radioactive contamination of Norwegian foodstuffs after the
Chernobyl accident
The 1986 Chernobyl accident was the worst nuclear accident in history. Norway was among
the countries outside the former Soviet Union that received most radioactive fallout from
the accident. Particularly the mountainous areas in southern Norway and the central
Norwegian counties were highly affected. During the 20 years since the accident, extensive
monitoring of radioactive contamination in foodstuffs such as dairy products, sheep,
reindeer, game, wild mushrooms and freshwater fish has been performed. The results from
many of these investigations show that radioactive contamination after Chernobyl is a long
lasting problem in many areas and that the use of countermeasures will be necessary for
several years to come.

there is currently a big PR campaign to cover up the releases from the european medical, educational, military and power plant de nuclaire!
the director of nilu has been instrumental in the "playing down" of the consequences of fukushima in his publicly released report…
next, the pro nuclear norwegians tried to deflect the emmissions that were being registered by honest monitor staff and tried to blame the japanese first and then when the opportunity arose they changed to blaming the russians….
next, when the videos of eurdep went up they changed there tune and "fessed up" to the hugary reactor!
why? because other reactors were having problems in europe and they needed to cover that!
then, they disabled eurdep so that NO evidence could be gleaned on that!!
well nearly no evidence
norway is a heavy investor in military weapons like the depleted uranium round and other nasties.

Thanks for the update I watched all the videos posted by someone here and that is what they claimed but as always you have to always check any words spoken by the NRC or anyone that is pro-nuke. Thanks for the clarification. Vitrification is only a band aid anyway and not a solution but at this juncture it is the only thing we have as far as I know.

Radioactive sheep? I guess it makes it easier to herd them in the long dark winters, just follow the faint glow. j/k
The food supply does seem like it is in jeopardy and the MSM doesnt mention cloned pigs or antibiotic resistant hamburgers or estrogen filled chicken other than endless commercials for more and more processed "food". The problem with Fukushima and Chernobyl effect on the environment is the free range food will become tainted as well.

Hey wait! That's us!
Pardon me, I just woke
from a nap,
dreamed I was part
of a test
and been trapped -
hmmm, sounds familiar…
by Charles and Camilliar,

could it have been something
I recently ate?
Nope, this is reality,
sad as it is,
it's all been dosed
by the nuclear biz,
some more and some less
with more in the pipes,
best to shut it all down,
the time's more than ripe,
and when they resist
be ready to fight -
in a nice way of course,
most diplomatic -
we'll just insist
that those plutocratic
give up control and power
and no longer devour
the lives of the children
or hog all the trough,
and hearing sweet reason
they'll all agree – cough cough.
And then we woke up.
Tear gas, rubber bullets,
truncheons and sound,
skulls crunched in, armored thugs,
many lists for the camps,
demoralized cattle
keep to the ramps
and moan to the sound as
the heavy boots tramp -
oh no again I am
caught in the dreaming
that is the nuke nightmare
surrounding us, screaming
"wake up now Life's tearing
apart at the seams,
stop it now or regret
a future obscene."

Rad nasties highest at Pacific coastal areas is a bigger icebreaker than rad saturated sheep. Millions living along the Pacific rim is being bombarded with radiated ocean spray that can spread inland 160 miles. This interests me far more than sheep.

Toxic link: the WHO and the IAEA
A 50-year-old agreement with the IAEA has effectively gagged the WHO from telling the truth about the health risks of radiation
"Although best known for its work to restrict nuclear proliferation, the IAEA's main role has been to promote the interests of the nuclear power industry worldwide, and it has used the agreement to suppress the growing body of scientific information on the real health risks of nuclear radiation."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/may/28/who-nuclear-power-chernobyl
An investigation by researchers from Columbia University, financed by the nuclear industry’s insurers, and reviewed
and approved by their lawyers, claimed that there was no evidence that radiation releases from the accident had
influenced cancer risks in the limited period to 1985.
25
However examination of the same data by Wing and others
concluded that the radiation exposures were in fact associated with excess cancer incidence in the local population.
Wing identified problems with the original Columbia University analysis. He writes, “Despite differences in results
between the Columbia studies and ours, both found evidence of impacts of the accident on cancer incidence.
However the evidence led us to different conclusions regarding both cause and biological mechanism. The Columbia
group concluded that the evidence suggested stress as a cause, and stress-induced immune depression as a
mechanism. We concluded that the evidence suggested radiation as a cause…”.

A "mystery virus" is reportedly affecting sheep and other livestock in Europe.
The article mentions nothing about how the virus is detected; it's supposed to be taken for granted, apparently.
The in-utero damage sounds more like the effect of radionuclide fallout.
