Following the CTBTO report from June 22 to 23 in the Baltic Sea region, the concentration of radioactive cesium (Cs-134, Cs-137) and ruthenium (Ru-103) isotopes not dangerous but higher than normal related to nuclear fission reactions in Lithuania The situation was monitored by the RSC.
“Lithuanian early warning stations did not and did not record anything. The filters from last week’s air pumping stations will be examined this week and then we will see if there has been any change in the atmosphere of radionuclides in Lithuania,” replied the reply. 15 minutes said Julius Žiliukas, Director of the Center’s Exhibition Monitoring and Expert Department.

According to him, the Dutch specialists, after receiving data from stations at higher concentrations of radionuclides, tried to predict where and how they could be spread by air currents.
“According to their predictions, Lithuania does not reach this air mass,” said J.Žiliukas.
“We note that even in places where radionuclides have been detected, there is no danger to the environment or people,” added the RSC spokesperson.
If a radioactive cloud were to reach Lithuania, in which the amounts of radionuclides would be such that the dose rate would change and there would be a risk of environmental contamination or danger to human health, J. Žiliukas assured that Lithuania’s early warning stations would would record.
Ramunė Marija Stasiūnaitienė, Acting Director of the RSC, also confirmed that the cloud carrying the highest concentration of radionuclides did not reach Lithuania. However, he noted that the increased contamination was addressed with artificial radionuclides.
“It is worrying that even after such a small increase has been recorded, artificial radionuclides have been recorded, which are generally not present in nature,” said R. M. Stasiūnaitienė.
After the CTBTO reported an increase in radioactive material, Russia stated that it had not detected such an increase.
For its part, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environment said on Friday that it had analyzed data collected by the Nordic countries, and “these calculations show that radionuclides come from western Russia.”
Russia’s state nuclear power company Rosenergoatom told the country’s media that neither of the two nuclear power plants operating in northwestern Russia had reported interruptions.
