The International Atomic Energy Agency said it could not yet determine where the reactor was located after several northern European countries, including Finland and Sweden, noted elevated levels of radioactivity last week. Russian nuclear power producer Rosenergoatom has denied any incident at its two plants, while a French NGO dismissed the Latvia theory based on the types of isotopes that were detected.

The Vienna-based organization said more than 40 countries, including Russia, reported nothing unusual on their soil.
