Abstract
In late September and October 2017, Ru-103 and Ru-106 have been detected throughout the northern hemisphere by national environmental radioactivity monitoring networks and by the International Monitoring System that is being established to verify compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. Ru- 103 (half-life: 39.26 d) and Ru-106 (half-life: 373.6 d) are radioactive particulates
that have no natural sources and for which there is no measurable global background. Based on the fact that only Ru-106 (and, in much lower concentrations and at fewer places, Ru-103) but no other fission products such as iodine and cesium have been measured, a nuclear accident can be excluded.
