FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE? Radioactive particles have been detected in Europe

DANGEROUS radioactive particles have been detected in seven different European countries and scientists can’t explain where they have come from.
Traces of Iodine-131 were found in Norway, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain in January, but the public were not immediately alerted.
These radioactive particles are produced by atomic bomb explosions or nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl or Fukushima.
They appear to be emanating from Eastern Europe, but experts have not been able to say exactly what produced them.
Astrid Liland, head of emergency preparedness at the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority, told the Barents Observer that the health risk was very low – which was why she did not raise the alarm after detecting Iodine-131 during the second week of January.
The Sun UK - Would they actually sound an alarm?

Now we know what Crooked Hillary sold the Uranium to Russia for.

How are they in some, but not all countries?

Only took 2 post for a Trumpkin to mention Hillary. I'm impressed.

I thought Iodine 131 particles wouldn't be expelled in a reactor accident.
Ergo, this is likely fallout from a detonation?

Detonations are fairly easy to detect

Concerns about a potential, and so far unsubstantiated, nuclear "incident", reportedly in the vicinity of the Arctic circle, spread in the past week after trace amounts of radioactive Iodine-131 of unknown origin were detected in January over large areas in Europe according to a report by the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, the French national public expert in nuclear and radiological risks. Since the isotope has a half-life of only eight days, the detection is an indication of a rather recent release. As the Barents Observer adds, "where the radioactivity is coming from is still a mystery."
The air filter station at Svanhovd - located a few hundred meters from Norway’s border to Russia’s Kola Peninsula in the north - was the first to measure small amounts of the radioactive Ionide-131 in the second week of January. Shortly thereafter, the same Iodine-131 isotope was measured in Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. Within the next two weeks, traces of radioactivity, although in tiny amounts, were measured in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain.
Norway was the first to measure the radioactivity, but France was the first to officially inform the public about it.
"Iodine-131 a radionuclide of anthropogenic origin, has recently been detected in tiny amounts in the ground-level atmosphere in Europe. The preliminary report states it was first found during week 2 of January 2017 in northern Norway. Iodine-131 was also detected in Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain, until the end of January", the official French Institute de Radioprotection et de Süreté Nucléaire (IRSN) wrote in a press release.

Obama says the 1980s called and want their foreign policy back.

Nice comment yet no answer.
Someone else answered my question. The half life is 8 days. I'm willing to bet all countries had some traces but these are those still present.
Eta or maybe I don't understand what I read

As Chekov asked,"Where do you keep the nooclear wessels?"
