CASTLES IN THE AIR - RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES IN THE SAND


Each tide that washes into the coasts of Cumbria brings radioactive particles.


The latest "discovery" of measurable "alpha-rich" particles was found on the beach near Workington on December 12, 2010, the local authority was only told this month.


The Environment Agency monitor a small part of the Cumbrian coast from Silecroft to Solway - so far they have "detected and removed more than 1,200 radioactive items."
