Nuclear Submarines
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment has been made of the adequacy of the protective clothing of nuclear submariners to resist the penetration of their clothing by liquid radioactive contaminants arising from incidents on board nuclear-powered submarines.
- Answer
-
Submariners are not required to wear specialist protective clothing for the day-to-day operation of nuclear powered submarines. Personal protective equipment is provided for use by crew members in the highly unlikely event that they are exposed to liquid radioactive contaminants resulting from an incident on board submarines. This equipment meets the appropriate European Mark and British Standards for Personal protective equipment.
