}} Palomares is an agricultural, fishing, and tourist town along the Mediterranean Sea in the Almería province of Andalusia, Spain. It is about {{convert|20|m|0|abbr=off}} above sea level. The village falls within the municipality of Cuevas del Almanzora. The ruins of El Artial lie just outside the village. Crashes of a B-52 and a KC-135 in 1966{{main|1966 Palomares B-52 crash}}The town is noted for an incident in 1966 in which a B-52 Stratofortress of the Strategic Air Command crashed after a midair collision with a KC-135 Stratotanker plane, causing radioactive contamination after its payload of four hydrogen bombs (H-bombs) was dispersed and crashed. There were four thermonuclear weapons in the bomber. The high-explosive igniters in two of these bombs detonated on impact, spreading radioactive material, including deadly plutonium-239, over a wide area of the Spanish countryside, but safety mechanisms and electronics prevented any nuclear explosions. The third H-bomb landed via parachute into a stream, where it was relatively intact and was recovered. The fourth H-bomb landed in the Mediterranean Sea, and U.S. Navy searchers took three months to find and recover the device intact. A large amount of contaminated Spanish soil was soon removed, packed up, and shipped across the Atlantic for burial near Barnwell, South Carolina, the site of a large installation of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In 2001, the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT) still detected measurable levels of the radioactive elements plutonium, uranium, and americium over {{convert|24|acres|ha|0|disp=flip}} of Palomares.[1] Annual monitoring by American and Spanish researchers has found no evidence of any health problems, or of any contaminated food or water resulting from these crashes. Nevertheless, some areas remain contaminated and they cannot be disturbed. Although they are fenced off for safety, the result is that the region is emotionally blighted, and it has missed out on developments like those in most other coastal towns. On 19 October 2015, Spain and the United States signed an agreement to discuss further cleanup of this area. Eventually, the United States agreed to take even more contaminated soil from Palomares to a safe burial site in the United States.[2] References1. ^"Spain, U.S. Agree to Radioactivity Cleanup 40 Years After Atomic Accident."
