Sensors detect rise in nuclear particles on Baltic Sea, global body says "VIENNA (Reuters) - Radiation sensors in Stockholm have detected higher- than-usual but still harmless levels of isotopes produced by nuclear fission, probably from somewhere on or near the Baltic Sea, a body running a worldwide network of the sensors said on Friday. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) oversees a network of hundreds of monitoring stations that use seismic, hydroacoustic and other technology to check for a nuclear weapon test anywhere in the world. That technology can, however, be put to other uses as well. One of its stations scanning the air for radionuclides - telltale radioactive particles that can be carried long distances by the wind - detected unusually high levels of three radionuclides earlier this week: caesium-134, caesium-137 and ruthenium-103. The Stockholm monitoring station "detected 3isotopes; Cs-134, Cs-137 & Ru-103 associated w/Nuclear fission @ higher[ ] than usual levels (but not harmful for human health)", CTBTO chief Lassina Zerbo said on Twitter (here) on Friday evening. The particles were detected on “22/23 June”, he added." |

Mmmm Russians denying it's anything to with their nuke plants. Though source area also could be Russian weapons testing site Nyonoksa where last year there was the accident involving a nuclear powered missile that killed a few folk.  Different isotopes to what was released last time - so wonder if they're are testing out something different. "The deadly August 8 blast at the Nyonoksa military weapons testing range released a handful of rapidly decaying radioactive isotopes — strontium-91, barium-139, barium-140, and lanthanum-140" https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-missile-disaster-shows-signs- nuke-reactor-blew-up-experts-2019-8 |

Thank you. I'm plan to be on the lookout for more information on this. |

"Sensors in Sweden have detected a rise in nuclear particles..." is exactly how the Chernobyl news story started back in 1986. |

What are the chances these two events are linked: Russian fighter jet intercepts Air Force, Navy aircraft over Black Sea By STARS AND STRIPES Published: June 27, 2020 A Russian fighter jet intercepted two U.S. reconnaissance aircraft and a refueling tanker as they flew in “neutral” airspace over the Black Sea, the Russian defense ministry said in a statement. The intercept was at least the 12th this year involving U.S. and Russian aircraft worldwide, according to a tally by Stars and Stripes. Most have occurred in the past month....(rest at link) |
