The risk of a nuclear accident is ever-present in the operation, servicing and decommissioning of UK submarines. Any accident at sea could affect the reactor. Periodic re-fits or decommissioning require high level radioactive fuel to be removed and stored. Reactors remains in the 15 redundant submarines stored afloat at Devonport and Rosyth in Scotland. Emergency safety plans are constantly exercised by the MoD and Local Authorities. NIS will be listing exercises and a full list of accidents in the near future.
