On the afternoon of August 9th 2023 the European radioactive monitoring portal:
did show a huge (>2.2*10^6 nSv/h) but local radioactive peak in the vicinity of Warneton, Wallonia, Belgium.
Hoping that people there are safe!
At least some others detectors located in the nearby area (Lille, Poperinge, etc.) didn't show any concerning pattern at that time as per the same monitoring portal.
Anyone knows what could have caused that? I couldn't find any nuclear power plant close enough that could explain this through some kind of incident.
