Article Synopsis
- A monitoring program has been in place since 2006 at beaches in West Cumbria to collect small radioactive particles and larger objects.
- The main worries for people using these beaches are skin contact with particles or accidentally swallowing them, which could lead to health issues like cancer over time.
- Most particles are either 'beta-rich' or 'alpha-rich', with 'beta-rich' particles being the ones that could cause skin problems, but luckily, the more dangerous particles haven't been found there.
