Title: Radioactive Iodine-131 detected in Austria, no source
Source: Xinhua
Date: Feb. 6
Higher than normal levels of radiation Iodine 131 was measured in the air in Austria but without danger to the public health, said the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) on Monday, ruling out a source in Austria.
Traces of isotope were detected by the air-collecting station in Vienna from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2. The Iodine-131 concentration was at an extremely low level of six microbecquerel per cubic meter of air [...]
The AGES believed that the results of the measurements and dispersion calculation would indicate that the source may locate in Eastern Europe [...]

“No danger to public health”.
Somebody needs to make a parody of that phrase. What a hollow and ridiculous lie.

I agree. How many members of the “public” have to be harmed before there is a danger to public health?

Campaigners mount bid to outlaw nuclear subsidies [fr]
Published 24 January 2012
Lawyers acting on behalf of British anti-nuclear campaigners have submitted a complaint about atomic subsidies to the European Commission which, if upheld, could prevent the building of new nuclear reactors in the EU.
“Nuclear power is heavily subsidised, and even on the British government’s terms that is wrong,” said Gerry Wolff, coordinator of the Energy Fair group which lodged the complaint with the EU’s Competition directorate-general.
“They’ve said repeatedly that nuclear power shouldn’t receive any subsidies,” he told EurActiv.
Energy Fair argues that the cap on liabilities that the British and other European governments provide to the nuclear industry constitutes an unfair subsidy.
If withdrawn, they say it would leave the nuclear industry uncompetitive in comparison with other low-carbon technologies.
“It has been calculated that, if nuclear operators were fully insured against the cost of nuclear disasters like those at Chernobyl and Fukushima, the price of nuclear electricity would rise by at least €0.14 per kWh [Kilowatt hour] and perhaps as much as €2.36,” a press release on the group’s website says.
By contrast, wind electricity in the UK retails at around €0.14 per kWh.
State intervention
Nuclear advocates maintain that the chances of a catastrophic accident are so remote – and the sums involved so massive – that state intervention to cover an unlikely eventuality is prudent, and a practical way of moving towards a low-carbon economy.
But Wolff said that even at a ratio of one accident every 10,000 years, with some 400 nuclear reactors in operation around the world, the timespan for accidents would shrink considerably.
“If you look at the actual record – Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima – then even ignoring some near disasters in-between, you are coming to a disaster every 11 years,” he said.

“The figures that say the chances are terribly low don’t stack up.”
Energy Fair is also complaining that uranium is exempted from a UK electricity fuel tax, that new proposals would allow state money to plug cost over-runs for nuclear waste disposal, and that nuclear “feed-in-tariffs” form another de facto subsidy.
A decision by the European Commission could now take up to 18 months.”

The latest criticality has been going on for some time. If it got to Europe Jan. 27, it probably was emitted a week before that from Fuku.

Bobby1….in any case, the articles says …
The AGES think (Collectively) measurements and dispersion calculation kinda indicate that the source might locate from Eastern Europe. A similar incident happened in November, 2011. Defect in the filtration system???? From dreaded Hungarian radioisotope institute has caused emission of Iodine-137 ???? into the air????
Report Comment
The November I-131 detection in Europe was accompanied by a Tepco admission of xenon and krypton releases. Now we have a new Tepco admission, and there is I-131 in Europe again.
Tepco blamed the noble gas releases on curium, and the IAEA blamed a Hungarian lab for the iodine. No admission of re-criticality then or now.

The noble gas treatment building at Fukushima Daiichi was destroyed in the first explosion of reactor #3.

@arc, the eurdep is run by the ITU (Institute for Transuranium Elements). This is from their site: “bla bla… In addition there is the gentlemen’s agreement that participating to EURDEP automatically means that data delivery will continue during an emergency but with a higher data transmission frequency.”
Nice eh! A gentlemen’s agreement during emergencies!

we have a cold front and a warm front meeting at lower levels than the jetstream .. as far as i can tell the american stream is heading north to iceland and norway and is meeting the russian stream that is also headed north.. they meet over the uk today but the russian front will push the warm front out into the atlantic/ireland, then will head north east! if there is something nasty in the air from russia i should pick it up.. but it could be la hague or luxwmburg etc also! no eurdep!! hope its back on tommorrow?? are they covering a release or annoyed about the analysis.. either way they are obviously spooked!

this evening the peaks have slowed and the lower range has dropped! we have very cold but dry weather.. heres the latest on that from london uk
Oliver shanti and friends- out of the blues

Range for this evening has improved a lot..
0.08 microsieverts/hr to 0.16 microsieverts/hr in gentle 5 to 10 minute cycles, very steady with the odd rise to 0.18 mcSv/h or peaks up to 0.33 mcSv/h, but these are rare, maybe on every hour!
0.08 microsieverts/h! nice to see you! however briefly!
used to get 0.4 microsievert/hr or less!! the good old days! eh?

I had peaks of 0.65 Micro sieverts/hour on my geiger counter here in southern holland…. Can make a video of it. Peaks of 0.45 are quite normal here. Little bit scary…
The avarage is about 0.15 micro sieverts per hour.
@arclight: Do you know if you can hook up the Soeks geiger counter for logging. I’ve got the same one and it seems interesting to me with so much going on. Don’t see anyting on the net. My email is Mintenp@hotmail.com. Don’t wont to go to much of topic.
