Probability assessment methodology - Appendix C (148kb) Probabilistic and Hazard Assessment: A Screening Assessment of Radium Contamination. This report presents the results and methodology used to assess the risk posed by an area of land in Fife that is contaminated with radium, thought to have been generated by previous Ministry of Defence activities in the years preceding WWII.
SEPA have undertaken a monitoring programme since radioactive materials were first discovered in the area and radioactive material has been removed periodically. In addition, many surveys have been undertaken on the beach to determine the potential numbers of items present and possible implications for public health. Dalgety Bay monitoring removal report - April 2006 (5.3mb) Information about the distribution of radioactive particles across the foreshore and in the exposed cliff face believed to be the contamination source. This report contains the results of radiation surveys undertaken at Dalgety Bay in Fife during March 2006.
