The
Guardian: Radioactive waste has leaked from Britain's
nuclear submarines nine times in the past 12 years, the
Ministry of Defence (MoD) has admitted. Two of the leaks
â including one at Devonport near Plymouth two
months ago â had not been revealed until
today.
Confirmation of the leaks raises new questions about the MoD's safety record, which has been coming under increasing scrutiny since HMS Vanguard, a British submarine armed with Trident nuclear missiles, collided with a nuclear-armed French submarine, Le Triomphant, under the Atlantic in February.
