More than 100kg of highly toxic uranium (U) and plutonium (Pu) was dispersed in the form of tiny ‘hot’ radioactive particles after the British detonated nine atomic bombs in remote areas of South Australia, including Maralinga.

A STUNNED mum fears her young son could have been seriously injured after a slab of concrete was launched at her front room window. Megan Cook, 30, has lived in a flat in Grange Road, Harwich, for the past nine years with her 11-year-old son.
