Norway says elevated radiation levels due to forest fire near Chornobyl
OSLO (Reuters) -Norway said on Wednesday that elevated levels of radioactive caesium (Cs-137) it had detected near the Arctic border with Russia were likely due to a forest fire near Chornobyl in Ukraine, the site of the world's worst nuclear accident. The Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) said in a statement on Tuesday that it had measured "very low" levels of radioactive caesium at Svanhovd and Viksjoefjell near the Arctic border with Russia. "DSA always finds caesium at all air filter stations in Norway, and this often comes from stirred-up dust from old fallout from the Chornobyl accident," it said in an update on Wednesday.
