Dear Jesus,
I think all Europian members of the list are very interested in an 
authentic english summary of the event.
For your information we measured elevated Cs-137 air concentrations in 
Hungary too, in the samples of the week june 2-8. The concentrations 
were in the order of 100-300 uBq/m3, about 100 times higher than 
usual.
