Radiation Concerns

You have as much chance of being affected by radiation in Palomares as you have being eaten alive by an Irish snake in the wild. And we in Ireland have had no snakes in the wild since before the Ice Age.

thanks for that view, made me smile...reading through articles it was obviously a concern. curious to hear local views.

Thanks..  

We have an apartment in Palomares .  

 There aren't any green illuminous with purple warts wandering around ! 

The area is checked regularly also the sea. 

  I

agree with the others,you would get a higher 'dose' from a granite rock in Cornwall

Lol.    I like that reply  xx.  

Some years ago a bomb shaped device was washed up on a beach in the south west of Ireland. It was an American submarine locator. But, a story was generated at the time that the "bomb" was that lost near Palomares. 
I know what you are thinking. How could a "bomb" missing in the Mediterranean turn up on a beach in Ireland? Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. We still have fairies and leprechauns in Ireland, you know! Of course, the story began in Ballypalomares.

are you sure it was not the bomb? leprechauns are green you know

All joking aside,I stumbled upon Palomares over 20 years ago and there was a piece of land fenced off with the radiation signs saying 'keep out', after getting back to the UK I did some research and spoke to friends at work and was told there was virtually no risk unless you dug down on the ground at least 15 mtrs and covered yourself in it.

i hasten to add I work in the Nuclear Industry

Just watch out for the fattus englishus burgurs munchus animals
