  one of norways nuclear reactors was discovered to be leaking radioactive iodine monday morning according to the norwegian radiation protection authority nrpa  
  in a statement released today the nrpa said 
  the radioactive leak was due to a technical failure during treatment of the fuel in the reactor hall emissions are low 
  experts say contamination levels around the institute for energy technology in the southern town of halden were well within legal limits and posed no risk to the public 
  said per strand deputy directorgeneral at the nrpa a government regulator 
  of course its an unfortunate situation but there is a low environmental risk this is not the sort of leak we want  
  the radioactive iodine was a byproduct of the uranium which powers the facility 
  staff were evacuated from the institute but later returned donning protective gear to assess the cause and extent of the leak and halt it 
  a senior nrpa official said the incident would maybe be rated a  on the international nuclear event scale which rates nuclear incidents from  to  by comparison the incidents at fukishima and chernobyl were ranked   source the government of the hong kong special administrative region 
  regulatory officials were frustrated that they were not notified about the leak until today  atle valseth a research director at the institute for energy technology agreed he said 
  i dont sit so close to those decisions but i think we should have informed the authority yesterday we will have to go through why it wasnt reported  it wasnt good enough that we didnt report it yesterday  
  strand the head of safety preparedness and environment at the nrpa expressed the regulators frustration 
  we need to gather more information  but we are not happy with the situation that we were not warned immediately we will investigate further  
  the swiss radiation safety authority srsa said i t has not detected any radiation emanating from the facility which sits close to the swiss border 
  mark foreman a nuclear expert at the chalmers university of technology in sweden stressed that the vast majority of the radioactive iodine is trapped inside the fuel which is contained within a ceramic material the ceramicwrapped material is stored inside a metal tube that is welded shut the tube is inside the reactor 
  the iodine would have to leak out of the reactor to enter the reactor hall
