    NFLA Publishes Report Raising Concerns Over the Radium Legacy at Dalgety Bay; and Asks How Many More MOD Sites Could Be Affected?

    NFLA Media release - for immediate release, 14th October 2013 NFLA publishes report raising concerns over the radium legacy at Dalgety Bay; and asks how many more MOD sites could be affected? The Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) publishes today a new study considering the issues around radioactive contamination at Dalgety Bay in Fife and highlights a large number of other existing and former Ministry of Defence sites which could contain similar levels of contamination. (1) Over the past couple of years, the local Fife Council, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), the independent Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) have been dealing with the complexities of radium contamination on the beach around Dalgety Bay in east Fife. Large radioactive particles have been found on the beach and around the Dalgety Bay shoreline. Their origin is likely to have come from radium tipped dials from dismantled Second World War aeroplanes, which were disposed of after the former airfield was decommissioned. As the NFLA briefing notes, SEPA have determined that the MOD should be responsible for the clean-up of the site, but the MOD is disputing these findings. It is possible that the area could also be formally designated as „radioactively contaminated land‟. The COMARE group of health experts have also raised serious public health concerns with the radioactive contamination. The local MP, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, has been highly critical of the MOD‟s challenge to SEPA‟s findings and urged a swift clean-up of the area. The NFLA report provides a full overview of this alarming matter, but it also further considers a long list of other existing or former MOD owned sites across Scotland, England and Wales which may also contain similar levels of radium contamination.
