The radioactivity detected does not affect the environment or human health because the concentrations are very low

Small amounts of radioactive isotopes were found in air samples collected in the city of Kotka in southeastern Finland. This was stated by the nuclear safety regulator of Finland, writes Reuters.

“The detected radioactivity does not affect the environment or human health because the concentrations are very low,” the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) said in a statement.

It is noted that small amounts of zirconium and niobium can be released into the air, for example, from the fuel of a nuclear power plant during plant maintenance.

At the time of sampling, air currents were moving towards Kota from the east and southeast, but the source of the radiation was unknown.

As the regulator’s spokesperson said, STUK does not plan to conduct further investigations.

It will be remembered that today, August 31, the Mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) went from Kyiv to the city of Energodar to the Zaporozhye NPP to investigate the situation and establish a permanent representation.

The IAEA’s mission is expected to focus on three tasks: physical protection, nuclear security, and safeguards against the proliferation of nuclear materials.
