Overview
- A passerby’s radiation reading near the Aumeister beer garden in Munich’s Englischer Garten prompted an emergency call.
- Police and firefighters arrived with a large team and closed the northern section of the park to keep people out.
- The cordon went up before fire crews conducted their own checks, and police offered no reason for that early closure.
- Firefighters then measured 1.5 microsievert, called the level harmless, and the area reopened about an hour after the response began.
- A microsievert is a unit that shows how much radiation a person might absorb.
