A major MoD nuclear submarine base in Faslane near Glasgow yesterday released information under the Freedom of Information Act detailing a number of embarrassing incidents involving nuclear and radioactive waste and admitted inadequate staff training for employees.
Angus Robertson MP, Leader of the Scottish National Party Westminster, and their Defence spokesperson commented,
“This utterly damning disclosure reveals repeated and serious nuclear safety breaches, and the MoD cannot be above the law. We are not talking about a one off incident but a whole catalogue of serious and frankly shocking failures.”
