OSLO, Norway – Maybe one of them will sprout a bright red nose.
Norwegian reindeer are more radioactive than they have been in recent years, possibly owing to their mushroom snacks, researchers said.
Lavrans Skuterud, a scientist at the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority, said reindeer at Vaga reinlag AS, in the central Norwegian Jotunheimen mountainous area, were found in September to have nearly eight times the amount of radioactive substance Caesium-137 in their bodies as was measured around the same time in 2012.
