Copenhagen, Denmark (Agencies): Authorities have reported a significant radioactive reading in Denmark, following a similar detection in England.
The Danish Health Authority confirmed the elevated levels of radiation, which were detected in various parts of the country.
This incident has raised concerns about potential sources and the implications for public health and safety.
The radioactive substances detected include cesium-137 and iodine-131, both of which are byproducts of nuclear reactions.
While the levels detected are not immediately hazardous to human health, they are significantly higher than normal background radiation levels.
The Danish Emergency Management Agency is currently investigating the source of the radiation.
Preliminary assessments suggest that the radioactive particles may have originated from a nuclear facility, but the exact source remains unidentified.
This detection comes shortly after a similar incident in England, where elevated radiation levels were also reported.
The proximity of these events has led to increased scrutiny and collaboration between international nuclear safety agencies to determine if there is a common source or if these are isolated incidents.
Authorities have assured the public that there is no immediate danger and that measures are being taken to monitor and address the situation.
