More radioactive particles found on Scottish beach

Dalgety Bay: Workers have found more radiation on beach than expected, Around 200 partciles of radioactive material have been found in the Fife beach in the past week. STV 17 October 2011Around 200 particles of radiation have been found on a Fife beach since it was cordoned off a week ago.

The foreshore at Dalgety Bay was closed after tests carried out over the weekend of October 8 and 9 found high levels of radiation.

Since then, workers from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) have been searching the area for more particles. Over the weekend, they found a total of 60 particles.

The amount of radioactive material found has been higher than the agency were expecting and it is all being taken to a laboratory to be examined….

Sepa is due to meet with the Scottish Government and MoD to discuss the long term plan for Dalgety Bay later this month.
