Radiaton Being Detected Across Europe

maybe an unreported leak in the french reactor that recently had a fire???

That's a thought. It appears somebody is not reporting something. There's one theory floating around that Russia tested a nuke in the arctic.
 

This is a non threat incident. It is not from a nuclear detonation nor a power plant leak since none of the associated radiation was detected. This is most likely a spill/leak from someone manufacturing iodine 133 for medical purposes. Noone has owned up to the accident yet...
 
It's more than possible that it could be from an exposed source, exposed because it had been left behind under the ice as a forever vault in the mistaken belief that it would remain entombed at least for long enough for the people who decided it would do until they could no longer be held responsible.

And who would do such an act of environmental vandalism? Quite a few but here's one to be getting on with.

Climate change is now predicted to turn the theory of ever thickening ice cover on its head as the rate of ice melt has increased, the start of ice melt each year is getting earlier, and the position just left behind will be on the surface in just a few decades.

How many others?

The half life of iodine133 is 6 days. For it to be a problem after exposure it would have to have been a very very large amount.

All active isotopes of iodine have half lives a matter of days at most with the one exception which has a very long half life. If a highly active iodine isotope were to have been released then although the level of activity would have continued to fall it would take a very long time to decay to an undetectable level. Many decades in fact. What is of moire concern at least IMO is just what other future problems are going to be released as a result of global warming and a cavalier by those just wanting to leave them under the ice.
