Russia. Rosenergoatom denies reports of nuclear fuel leakage

by

There has been no nuclear fuel leakage in Russia, Rosenergoatom said in a statement. The company supervising the operation of nuclear power plants has ensured that the traces of cesium-134, cesium-137 and ruthenium-103 isotope found over Scandinavia do not come from Russian territory. Their elevated concentration was discovered a week ago.

The first signals about the traces of radioactive substances were given by the nuclear security services of Finland, Norway and Sweden – the BBC reported on its website.

On Friday, information about a higher than usual level of isotopes in the atmosphere was confirmed by the Organization for the Treaty on the Total Prohibition of Nuclear Tests. Its executive secretary Lassina Zerbo posted on Twitter a brief information with a map, which shows that the issue covered virtually all of Scandinavia and the Baltic States. The particles were to appear in the air over Scandinavia from June 22-23, Zerbo said.

According to the Dutch Institute of Health and the Environment, the source of increased radiation could have been a fuel leak caused by a failure in one of the nuclear power plants located in the north of Russia. This is indicated by mathematical models – underlined. However, the Institute refused to provide the exact location.

Information on the release of cesium-134, cesium-137 and ruthenium-103 isotopes into the atmosphere has caused concern in the Baltic States. The presence of trace amounts of radioactive isotopes of cesium, cobalt and ruthenium over Estonia was confirmed on Friday by the nuclear safety department at the country’s public health ministry.

The Foreign Minister of Estonia Urmas Reinsalu held consultations with the heads of diplomacy of Finland, Lithuania and Latvia on Sunday, the Estonian newspaper Postimees said. The daily quoted the minister’s words: “Although the level of presence of these isotopes does not pose any threat to human life, it is in the interest of our country and in the interest of international security to determine the dynamics of the phenomenon, which undoubtedly has its source in human activity.”

–

According to the BBC, a possible source of isotope emissions may be nuclear waste that Russia has stored in the Far North, including unused ships. Recently, attempts have been made to liquidate them partially, which could have caused a leak.
