        After 373 days half of that Ruthenium-106 will be gone Ru106 (l373 days)->Rh106 (29s)->Pd106 What concerns me are the other Uranium daughter particles that don't show up on beta ray detectors.

        According to EU (euratom) law, all member states measure all radiation types on a continuous basis. Apart from the normal and natural radioactive substances like beryllium-7 and lead-210, ONLY ruthenium-106 was found.

        That means somebody is burning a halide. The oxides of Ru are all solids. Organometallic compounds of Ru aren't easy to produce, but are the only highly toxic forms I can think of. The metal is fairly inert. You have to try to spread it - try hard. Sabotage?

        It is thought that 100 to 300 Terabequerels of activity has been released. If pure metal, we’re talking 1 or 2 grammes here. At this moment, the exact location or the discharge scenario are still unknown.

        If it is unprocessed fuel waste burning then there should be a measurable quantity of Rh-106 detected via higher energy beta rays. Without Rh-106, then somebody is burning Ru-106 hexafluoride.

        Could also be an RTG (radioisotope thermoelectric generator).

        I was thinking that at first and I beleive you are on the right track except for the missing RH-106 signature. Paired Ruthenium and Rhodium are trademarks of RTGs. While the Rh-106 is long gone by the time of sensing, the gamma spectra is evident. I'd have to see the data.

        Not sure I understand you correctly? Ruthenium-106 emits low energy beta radiation which is hard to measure. The daughter isotope, rhodium-106, which always is present too, emits some easy-to-measure gamma’s.
