[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Radiation detected by Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization
- Oversees hundreds of monitoring stations to detect nuclear weapons tests
- The station in question, in Stockholm, detected three different isotopes
- The isotopes detected were caesium-134, caesium-137 and ruthenium-103
- CTBTO chief Lassina Zerbo said the levels were not high enough to be harmful
- They came from nuclear fission - the process used to generate nuclear power
- But CTBTO said it was outside their mandate to determine exact origin
