Meter error—Finns
NZPA-Reuter Helsinki Finnish experts said yesterday that unusually high radiation readings at the southern port of Kotka earlier this week had been caused by a meter error and that radiation had risen only slightly because of the weather. The Radiological Protection Board had said that although a meter error was probably to blame it was looking into the possibility that contaminated Soviet trains passing
the Kotka measuringstation had causedJthe jump in radiation. “It is absolutely certain now it was a meter error,” said Janne Koivukoski, of the Interior Ministry. “But we had reckoned with a fall-out leakage somewhere because we were almost certain at first that nothing was wrong with the meters.” Board officials said a slightly higher level registered on Wednesday also had been caused by local weather.
