❗️Traces of radioactive Cesium-137 were detected along Norway’s border with russia - The Barents Observer

Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) says the amount of Cesium discovered in the air filters is "very low." Bredo Møller with DSA’s Emergency Preparedness unit at Svanhovd is not worried.

"The levels are clearly higher than normal, but pose no risk to humans or the environment," Møller said.

The origin of Cesium-137 is still unknown, according to the DSA. Several nuclear-powered icebreakers and submarines are operating in the Barents Sea. However, Norwegian experts consider it unlikely that the release came from an operating reactor at sea. Another possibility, in their opinion, that it may be linked to the development or testing of the Russian nuclear-powered missile Burevestnik, with the launch site located on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, where the USSR conducted nuclear tests until 1990.
