Nuclear Submarines: Radioactive Waste
(asked on 22nd March 2022) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his most recent estimate is for the date of completion of the dismantling work on the Revenge submarine and the removal of its component low level radioactive waste.
This question was answered on 29th March 2022
The removal of component low level radioactive waste has been successfully and safely completed on the submarine, REVENGE, marking the completion of its initial phase of dismantling work.
A demonstrator submarine is being used to define and refine the dismantling process. As the demonstrator programme progresses, the outcomes will provide more certainty in the date when REVENGE will be fully dismantled.
