Detecting mysterious radioactivity scattered throughout Europe

A large number of dangerous radioactive particles appear scattered 7 European countries that scientists can not explain the cause.

According to the Daily Star, scientists have not been able to explain why the amount of radioactive iodine-131 appears in Norway, Finland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain.

These radioactive particles are often found after detonating nuclear bombs or tragedy for nuclear power plants, such as Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Scientists still keep the information gathered, raising rumors.

The amount of radiation seems to spread from Eastern Europe. But scientists cannot yet determine their origin.

Astrid Liland, head of emergency response at the Norwegian Radiation Protection Agency, said the danger to human health is still low. That's why Mrs. Liland has not yet made a public announcement about the appearance of Iodine-131, since the second week of January.

"We found a small amount of radioactive material in the air, because we have very sensitive devices , " explained Liland. "The amount of radiation measured in neighboring countries, such as Finland, is still low, not harmful to people or the environment."

In a related development, the US Air Force sent its nuclear reconnaissance aircraft WC-135C to Britain. This is a rare time when this plane appears abroad.

Military experts said the aircraft was deployed in the UK to investigate the source of unexpectedly high levels of Iodine-131 radiation.

Iodine-131 is made from nuclear power plants and has many medical uses, but it is also one of the radioactive isotopes created after the fission nuclear bomb explosion.

Many people suspect that Russia's ability to test atomic bombs, violating the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (PTBT), came into effect in 1963.

Others believe that this may be the result of a leak of nuclear reactors, possibly from an explosion near the French nuclear power plant earlier this month.
