Staff ‘moved after serious radiation breach’ at Trident nuclear base, whistleblower claims... - The Sun

A Trident nuclear weapons depot had to be shut down because of a dangerous radiation breach, a whistleblower has claimed.

HMNB Clyde staffed at Royal Naval Armaments Depot Coulport had to be moved recently following the incident where warheads are managed.

The Coulport base on Loch Long, Argyll is the storage and loading facility for the nuclear weapons for Westminster’s Trident programme.

Neale Hanvey, Alba MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, quizzed UK defence secretary Ben Wallace about the apparent breach in the House of Commons.

“How many such events have been registered in the past three years?

"How many such incidents have been reported to the public?
