Below is some text copied from a news report:
The country's main nuclear submarine base has been hit by a series of safety breaches, including leaks of radioactive waste, it is reported.
In a confidential report released under the Freedom of Information Act, the Ministry of Defence described safety failings at Faslane, on the Gare Loch near Glasgow, as a "recurring theme".
The worst breaches include three leaks of radioactive coolant from nuclear submarines in 2004, 2007 and 2008 into the Firth of Clyde.
An MoD spokesman said: "The discharges into the Gare loch had no environmental consequences. The MoD is a responsible nuclear operator and informed the appropriate regulatory authorities.
Isn't marvellous that the UK radioactive stuff never poses any harm to anybody or anything, locally or otherwise.? Cor ..... talk about lucky!
