Unverified: Ukraine radiological event

[DEFCON Warning System]

Russia Today, citing another Russian source, reports an unusual radiation leak at a Ukraine power plant.

There are no confirming reports, and we view both sources with suspicion.

Nevertheless, we will look into this and follow up as necessary.

Was just coming here to post this, but I see you guys are ahead of the game.

16 times the legally permitted norm is "insignificant", Ryan? That's interesting.

I just want to re-emphasize that we have not verified the report. Russia Today is a propaganda site, and thus have an agenda, especially with Ukraine. So far, they are the only ones reporting this incident.

And the Brits, at least, are viewing the story with skepticism:

Nice to see the Brits are doing their homework... sort of.
