At nuclear power plants, this radioactive isotope is not used.
German officials said that the surge of radioactivity was detected in the air in Western and Central Europe.
Thus threats to the health of the people there.
The Federal office for radiation protection said on Thursday, October 5, September 29 in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and France scientists faced with elevated levels of the isotope ruthenium-106.
The press Secretary, Jan Henryk Lauer reported that the source of a release of ruthenium-106 is currently unknown, but calculations indicate that he probably was released in Eastern Europe. In this case, the source of the isotope can not be incident at the plant.
Note that ruthenium-106 is used for radiotherapy of tumors in the eyes, and sometimes as a source of energy for satellites. At nuclear power plants, this radioactive isotope is not used.
