The 30-year-old vessel was reportedly carrying carrying Trident nuclear missiles when the electrical blaze broke out.
A fire on a nuclear submarine based at Faslane has prompted a reassurance for West Dunbartonshire residents that regular testing and safety measures are in place to protect them in the event of a nuclear incident.
On Wednesday the report was presented to members and confirmed there was a “well established emergency plan” in place to mitigate incidents. The report noted that West Dunbartonshire Council has a “dedicated” civil contingencies officer responsible for reviewing and updating the council’s incident response procedures and relevant plans that would be invoked should the council be required to respond to an incident in the local area.
Category 2 responders are mostly utility companies and transport organisations, such as Electricity and gas distributors, water and sewerage undertakers and telephone service providers. “An exercise or a test is essentially us working with other category one and two responders from multi agency partners on a fictitious event and all of us doing our respective parts and working through that scenario in order that we are at the height of preparedness we can be.
