developing SRF 4 News Lucerne 16d Impact 5
Natural radioactivity levels in Lucerne increased from 10 to approximately 30 microroentgens per hour overnight. This increase was reported following a nuclear incident that has sent a radioactive cloud toward Scandinavia. The specific nature of the radiation increase remains localized to the Lucerne area for now. This increase is localized to Lucerne and has not been observed in Western Switzerland. The change represents a tripling of the baseline radiation measurement. Authorities are monitoring the situation as the public encounters these new measurement units.
