The United States is offering technical assistance to Spain to clean up land contaminated by radiation from undetonated nuclear bombs that accidentally fell on the area in 1966, the US State Department announced Saturday. |
|||
The Spanish and US governments have not yet reached an agreement on the cleanup. |

At the request of the Spanish government, an American technical team led by the US Energy Department traveled to the southeastern Spanish town of Palomares in February 2011 to offer advice for the remediation plan. |

"No final decision has been reached regarding cleanup of the site," the State Department said in a statement on its website. |

On January 17, 1966, a US B-52 bomber carrying four nuclear bombs collided with a KC-135 tanker during mid-air refueling off the coast of Spain. In addition to killing seven crew members on the airplanes, three hydrogen bombs fell to the ground near Palomares and one fell into the Mediterranean Sea. |

The non-nuclear explosives on two of the bombs that hit the ground detonated, spreading seven pounds of plutonium over a 200 hectares (490 acres). The bomb that fell into the sea was recovered intact after a search by the US Navy. |

"In 1966, we worked closely with Spain to remediate the accident site, and have collaborated with Spanish authorities for more than 40 years to monitor the site and the health of local inhabitants," the State Department statement Saturday said. |

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo spoke with US State Department Secretary Hillary Clinton about the remediation this week during the Munich Security Conference in Germany, according to the Spanish newspaper Herald of Aragon. |

Palomares del Río est une ville du sud de l'Espagne, située dans la communauté autonome d'Andalousie (province de Séville), peuplée de 4 728 habitants en 2005. Située dans la banlieue de Séville, cette ville est bornée au sud par Coria del Río, au nord par San Juan de Aznalfarache et Mairena del Aljarafe et à l'ouest par Almensilla.
Histoire
Les terres de Palomares del Río eurent pour premiers habitants les Romains et les Arabes, comme le démontrent des découvertes archéologiques. Selon certains écrits, le premier nom de la localité fut Columbaria ou Colomera qui signifie "colombes" ("Palomares" en espagnol). Les musulmans l'appelèrent Rauz qui se traduit par "jardin". L'actuelle dénomination provient du temps d'Alphonse X de Castille. La ville arriva à se développer à partir du XVIe siècle grâce à sa localisation près du fleuve Guadalquivir.
Le noyau urbain de la commune se trouve près du croisement du Guadalquivir et du Río Pudio. Les caractéristiques terrain ont empêché sa croissance vers le nord.
Les premières constructions furent la hacienda (grande exploitation agricole) de Córdoba et l'église (antérieure au XIVe siècle), dont les fondations reposent sur l'ancien noyau arabe, et la hacienda Las Cadenas (du XIVe siècle) construite à proximité des routes menant à Coria del Río, Séville et Almensilla. Aux XVIIe siècle et XVIIIe siècle, six nouvelles haciendas furent construites autour de l'église.
Au début du XXe siècle, l'agglomération se développa autour des routes menant à San Juan de Aznalfarache, Mairena del Aljarafe, Almensilla, Coria del Río et Gelves.
