Source of Iodine-131 in Europe Identified
►http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/2011/prn201127.html
The IAEA has received information from the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority (HAEA) that the source of the iodine-131 (I-131) detected in Europe was most probably a release to the atmosphere from the Institute of Isotopes Ltd., Budapest. The Institute of Isotopes Ltd. produces radioisotopes for healthcare, research and industrial applications. According to the HAEA, the release occurred from September 8 to November 16, 2011. The cause of the release is under investigation.
As previously mentioned, the levels of I-131 that have been detected in Europe are extremely low. There is no health concern to the population.
Fatiguant cette répétition du « no health concern ». En pratique, en terme de santé publique, pas de souci (pas d’exposition massive, bla) mais si vous avez choppé une de ces particules ben, heu... Ah ! C’est hautement improbable, d’accord. Comme de gagner au lotto ? Bien, bien. Dommage pour les winners alors.
