Nuclear Safety Advisory Panel to the Government of Gibraltar Report on the Safety Of HMS Tireless Whilst Under Repair at Gibraltar

September 2000

HMS Tireless entered Gibraltar harbour on 19 May 2000, with a leaking weld in the reactor primary circuit, and was stranded there awaiting repairs.

This report presents the findings of the Nuclear Safety Advisory Panel set up in response to this by the Chief Minister, Government of Gibraltar. The Panel was tasked to give an informed assessment on the nuclear safety of the submarine under repair, compared with a submarine on a normal recreational visit.
