Todays "Kronenzeitung" had a small message, which I translate:

"Cesium-Incident

Radioactive cloud came from Spain

Madrid.- The radioactive cloud, which was detected between May 25 and June
2 in France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany originated obviously in
Southern Spain. The National Radiation Protection Authority in Madrid
declared on Saturaday, that there was an "incident" in a steel mill near
Cadiz at this time with Cesium-137."

Can anyone of you confirm this? Are there more press releases?
