UK nuclear submarines are safety risk

UK nuclear submarines are safety risk



Two nuclear submarines went to sea with a safety defect that put the vessels at potential risk from radioactive material, according to a leaked memo.

It suggests that both submarines were left without over-pressure protection on their steam generators after on-land maintenance work.

According to the Press Association, the document described the issue as a "serious incident".
