Iodine-131
"I-131 decays with a half-life of 8.02 days"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-131#Radioactive_decay
So, hardly I would say
I'm not saying it's impossible... Though idk how much time it takes for winds to come over europe from japan, but, I would say, that's rather unlikely

I'm not a rocket scientist and for what I've just read about 131 there doesn't seem to be that many places it could have come from. Open air nuke explosion, accident at nuke plant or medical use. The only story I've seen floating around the internets lately was the incident at the French nuke plant. I'm sure someone knows the truth but I doubt they'll tell us lowly minions.

131 is usually linked to atmospheric nuclear explosions
There's the "constant phoenix" (uk plane used to detect/monitor nuclear explosions) part of that story
As some1 noticed below, it seems to come from the czech republic
...
In ZH comment section a guy is pointing at ukraine:

I-131 has a half life of 8 days. The reading map shows a high in Eastern Europe, with smaller amounts found the further west or north one goes.
My money is on a Ukrainian fuck up, most probably caused by those square American fuel rods that GE forced into the round Russian reactor core holes.
But as you say, it will be Russia's fault - in about 100 years when the authorities finally admit it.

Yes. Several reasons why the Xoxols are the most likely suspects.
Ukraine really should shut down its nuclear power stations now they have reached / are reaching the end of their design life and having Rosatom refurbish them is politically impossible even if it were technically feasible.

Australia/Ukraine nuclear deal — because Fukushima turned out so well
Dave Sweeney 13 February 2017, 3:30pm

Ukraine has 15 nuclear reactors — four are currently running beyond their design lifetime, while a further six will reach this in 2020. Two-thirds of Ukraine’s nuclear reactors will then be past their use-by date.
When quizzed on this by the Parliamentary Committee, a senior DFAT bureaucrat attempted to reassure committee members by saying:
"Yes, they [Ukrainian authorities] are seeking to upgrade them [Ukrainian nuclear reactors] to 21st century standard."

Industrial complex running at any costs. Another win-win for the oligarchy elite. Make mad money when it works. Be able to tax the crap out of us when it fails.

If you check the Iodine 131 levels reported by Country on the chart provided, the highest levels seemed to be in the Czech Republic, or in that vicinity.

The Czech Republic operates two nuclear power plants: Temelín and Dukovany. In 2010 there were government and corporate moves to expand Czech nuclear power generation capacity. Any expansion is likely to build on plans first developed in the 1980s.[citation needed]

But then why the "constant phoenix" deployment ?
Standard procedure ?

Dont worry the deep state will engineer a crisis out of this so as to expand the NSA, GCHQ, etc. Anonymity and Encryption are clearly responsible for the release.
