Releases of radioactive can be release come from industrial accidents such as the ongoing tragedy at Fukushima, Japan. They can also be released by weapons tests, and it is those latter that are especially concerning. In order to locate the sources of these radioactive leaks, the US deploys WC-135 nuclear sniffer aircraft. Once again this aircraft has been deployed in Europe to investigate a mysterious release of radioactive Iodine-131.
The mystery surrounding a release of iodine over Europe in January deepened earlier this month as a second minor spike of radiation again tripped sensors in Svandhovd, Norway, the Barents Observer reported accurately in an article that will doubtless be followed several false ones from other sources. The new spike, according to instruments monitored by the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority, was measured between March 6 and 13, and, according to Bellona physicist and general director Nils Bøhmer, strongly suggest the iodine release is ongoing… As such, the iodine measurements have become the stuff of Internet legend and fuel for conspiracies, and the newest reports will likely spur further theories…
Of course theories will abound as people’s health is at stake and solid answers to vital questions are absent. To write off speculations as “internet legends” is to demean those very real and valid concerns that the public has. A good dose of the truth backed up by facts would be a great way to settle these theories that officials wish to demean.
[W]here the iodine is coming from is still not clear. But nuclear authorities in Finland and Norway are taking the work of trying to triangulate its source seriously.—
Nuclear physicist with the Bellona Foundation, Nils Bøhmer, says this second period of measurement indicates that there are some kind of ongoing releases. “If it is iodine-131, it is serious because that likely means a continuing release still going on. Iodine-131 has a half-life of only 8 days, so what was measured in January are long gone,” Bøhmer says to the Barents Observer.
Where is the mystery radiation coming from? At this point if the governments know, they are for some reason remaining very tight-lipped about the matter. That will do nothing but add to the public’s concern and speculations over what is happening. Even if the answer to the question is inconvenient and creates some international tensions, it is a question that demands a very public answer.

The end is nigh.
When will we know what goes on at Area 51 ?????
Where else is it not being reported?
Muslim terrorist plain and simple probably and collusion with the Russians
Radiation is easily traceable to the source… the authorities know exactly where it’s coming from…
