Surprising fact of the day 15:50 - Aug 6 with 1466 viewsGeoffSentence

America has dropped more atomic bombs on Spain than Japan.

With friends like that who needs enemies.

I'm not convinced that our American buddies can 'sort out' anything much. I don't think they have cleaned up the radiation at Palomares yet.

Only if the Spaniels give Ceuta back to Morocco.

None of them went off though.

The country where the US dropped the most nukes was the US.

True, but one of them did catch fire, melting the plutonium and dosing the local area with radiation, so still pretty bad.

None of them went off in a nuclear blast, but two of the bombs landed without parachute and caused extensive contamination to the area. Palomares remains the most radioactive place in Europe.

I was on holiday a few miles down the road from there last year. Had no idea at the time that it was still contaminated.

However, in a point of order, are you sure that the area around Chernobyl is not more radioactive?

How many atomic bombs has Japan dropped on Spain anyway?

None at all, it is way behind America, needs to catch up a little.

If the Spanish and Japanese accused each other of cooking badly, I could see this happening.

Small problem of not having nuclear capability.

It is an interesting fact I was unaware of but I was actually putting an alternative interpretation on your original post in case that wasn't apparent.

It was apparent, I was just going along with it.

I'm not sure at all. The claim surprised me a little too.

Here's another source for the same claim. It's a British "quality" newspaper, so its claims are hardly worth the pixels they appear on:

That article claims it is western Europe's highest level of contamination for americium and plutonium.

The headline is potentially misleading, although it may also depend on what measure you are using for the radiation too.
