@MaryW in this case, yes. it has a radio sign.
by Edano 11/14/2011 1:52:54 AM
@Edano dalgety bay was a dumping ground for dismantled war planes etc
by elainekirk 11/14/2011 1:53:00 AM
@Edano @MaryW it was all 'buried' and is now surfacing but they are overwhelmed by it having said that the locals have been demanding action for years and nobody took any notice
by elainekirk 11/14/2011 1:54:23 AM
@elainekirk and now it is listed in nuclear events....
by Edano 11/14/2011 1:55:21 AM
@Edano methinks it should be

it's really time to clear that iodine mess over east europe, darn.

Description
Very low levels of radioactive iodine-131 have been detected in Europe but the particles are not believed to pose a public health risk, the UN's nuclear agency said on Friday, adding that it was seeking the source. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Viennabased United Nations watchdog, said it did not believe the radioactive particles were from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant after its emergency in March. Experts said the origin of the radiation, which has been spreading for about two weeks, remained a mystery but could come from many possible sources ranging from medical laboratories or hospitals to nuclear submarines. The Czech Republic's nuclear security watchdog said it had tipped off the IAEA after detecting the radiation it thought was coming from abroad but not from a nuclear power plant. It suggested it may come from production of radiopharmaceuticals. Paddy Regan, a professor of nuclear physics at Britain's University of Surrey, said the suggestion that it may have leaked from a radiopharmaceuticals maker "sounds very sensible and totally reasonable." He said since iodine was used in the treatment of thyroid conditions it was also likely that hospitals in many European countries would have it. "It would be very unlikely for it to have come from Fukushima since the accident was so many months ago and iodine-131 has a brief halflife," he said. Iodine-131 is a short-lived radioisotope that has a radioactive decay half-life of about eight days, the IAEA said.

Description
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has been combing the shore beside Dalgety Bay Sailing Club to remove cancer-causing contamination and identify the source of radioactivity at the site, which was first identified in 1990. Last week SEPA cordoned off an area of the shore after a sample 10 times as radioactive as anything previously found at the beauty spot was dug out of the sand. The lump of clinker could have caused skin burns had it been picked up by a member of the public, said a SEPA radiation expert. Although the lump was too large to be ingested, an equivalent dose, if consumed, could have caused ''severe radiation effects'' including an increased risk of developing cancer. On Friday 17 radioactive particles were recovered, while 33 were found on Saturday and 33 on Sunday. The total number of particles recovered since SEPA's monitoring programme started on September 12 is around 200. Dr James Gemmill, radioactive substances manager for SEPA, said: ''Over the next few days we will be undertaking analysis and a review of the sources recovered to date, which will provide the basis of further recovery work at Dalgety Bay.
''We expect to return to Dalgety Bay on Wednesday to continue the monitoring and recovery work. ''The number of finds is higher than we anticipated and therefore this work is progressing more slowly than we expected. Each find is being returned to the lab for further assessment.'' It is thought that the contamination originates from the radium-coated instrument panels of military aircraft incinerated and land-filled at the headland beside the sailing club after the end of the Second World War. Over the years monitoring has been undertaken by different agencies including SEPA and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and radioactive material has been removed periodically. The MoD has been under fire in recent days after it was revealed that its own scientists refused to analyse the contamination in 2009 because of fears about potential health risks (link). For years warning signs have been up at the site urging the public not to pick up items from the beach. SEPA will be meeting the Scottish Government and the MoD on October 24, with a meeting of the Dalgety Bay Forum taking place on November 22.

Description
Another "significant radioactive" source has been found buried at depth at Dalgety Bay beach in Fife. Environment agency Sepa said if exposed through erosion the material would pose a risk to the community. The radioactivity is thought to come from dials of World War II aircraft which were scrapped there. In October, a particle 10 times more radioactive than any other was found. More than 200 particles have been found in monitoring over the past few months. A specialist team and equipment is now being used to remove the latest find. Sepa has advised the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the find and has asked the MoD to support the agency in recovering the source or sources in order to remove "the significant hazard". On Monday, Sepa met officials from the MoD, the Scottish government, the Food Standards Agency, Fife Council, the Health Protection Agency, NHS Fife and the local community at an interim meeting of the Dalgety Bay Forum. SEPA may need to designate an area around the foreshore at Dalgety Bay as Radioactive Contaminated Land to ensure the public is suitably protected”
At the meeting Sepa presented the results of its most recent round of monitoring and particle retrieval work which concluded that "there appears to be a number of caches of contamination which could be managed to prevent their release into the environment". A full meeting of the Dalgety Bay Forum is planned for 22 November. A Sepa statement said: "Sepa is keen that an appropriate long term remediation plan for Dalgety Bay is developed. "However, in the absence of a suitable plan, Sepa may need to designate an area around the foreshore at Dalgety Bay as Radioactive Contaminated Land to ensure the public is suitably protected." Dalgety Bay was the site of a World War II airfield, where many aircraft were dismantled. The dials in the planes were coated with radioactive radium so they could be read at night. It is thought they were incinerated along with other waste, then later tipped on the land and used to help reclaim some of the coastline. Numerous surveys have been carried out on the beach since radiation was first discovered in 1990.

Description
A further 40 radioactive particles have been discovered by scientists monitoring Dalgety Bay beach in Fife. Sepa has been surveying a small area of the foreshore after a particle 10 times more radioactive than any other was discovered there earlier this month. The radioactivity is thought to come from dials of World War Two aircraft that were scrapped there. Over 200 particles have been found in this most recent monitoring. Warning signs have been erected. Sepa briefed officials from the MoD and the Scottish government last week. Dalgety Bay was the site of a World War II airfield, where many aircraft were dismantled.

@elainekirk what a mess in scottyland !
by Edano 11/14/2011 2:07:40 AM
world war two aircrafts carried radioactivity ???? sounds like BS to me.

ah, radium for glowin in the night ! :)

@Edano pmsl at you and Mary
by elainekirk 11/14/2011 2:14:55 AM
@Edano they reckon it is the dials
by elainekirk 11/14/2011 2:15:22 AM
@Edano its flippin dumped waste everybody knows it so why the farce i dunno
