Higher-than-normal uranium found near Finland's Talvivaara mine
HELSINKI |
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finland's nuclear safety authority said it detected higher-than-normal uranium levels in waters near Talvivaara's Sotkamo mine, which has been leaking waste water.
The level of uranium was 50-80 times higher than previously-measured levels, although it did not pose a threat to public health, the authority said in a statement on Friday.
The mine has been offline since Sunday, when the leak was first detected.
