Short summary

In the fall of 2011, iodine-131 (¹³¹I) was detected at several radionuclide monitoring stations in central Europe. We estimate the source location and emission variation using only the available ¹³¹I measurements. Subsequently, we use the IAEA report about the source term for validation of our results. We find that our algorithm could successfully locate the actual release site. The findings are also in agreement with the values reported by the IAEA.
