Airfield probe gets underway

SPECIALIST consultants hired by South Norfolk Council visited Pulham airfield on Monday as part as an investigation into potentially radioactive materials on the site.

The investigation was launched last month after new information came to light about the site being used for aircraft repair and salvage, with Radium 226, which is radioactive, thought to have been used on site for its luminescent properties within aircraft components.

The consultants will now prepare their analysis report and are expected to report back to South Norfolk Council in a couple of weeks.
