It was preceded by Norway’s announcement that it had detected elevated levels of radioactive cesium (Cs-137) near the border with Russia in the Arctic
The Kremlin said today that Russian agencies had not issued any warning about high levels of radioactivity in the atmosphere, after Norway said it had detected elevated levels of radioactive cesium (Cs-137) near the border with Russia in the Arctic.
Norway’s Radioactive and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) said in a statement yesterday that measurements it had taken showed “very low” levels of radioactive cesium at Svanhovd and Viksiogjevjell near the border with Russia in the Arctic.
The authority found, it added in its announcement, elevated levels of radioactive cesium (Cs-137) in Svanhod between 9-16 September and in Vikjøefjel between 5-12 September, but the levels did not endanger people or the environment.
Asked about the announcement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “There were no warnings from our own competent agencies about elevated levels of isotopes in the atmosphere, there were no warnings about threats to human health, so I have no nothing to say in this case”.
