In January 1966 two american airplanes collided over Palomares (Almería-Spain) and as a consequence, four H-bombs fell a hearth. Two of them explode their conventional charge and due to the strong wind radioactive material is scattered over the region. An intensive search is started to find the fourth bomb.
The nuclear accident in Palomares (Almeria, Spain) left many questions in the air.
Relying on declassified documentary and audiovisual material in recent years, as well as on epidemiological studies carried out on the civilian and military population, we will take a look at this event, unique in its characteristics, from a human point of view.
After 55 years, 410,000 m2 (101 acres) that remained uncollected in 1966, have yet to be decontaminated of plutonium isotopes 238, 239, 240, 241, and americium 241.
