British shipyard evacuated after report of a bomb on a nuclear submarine
LONDON - A shipyard in northern England that builds Britain’s new generation of nuclear submarines was evacuated on Wednesday but the atomic safety regulator said there had been no nuclear incident.
Ambulances and police were on the scene at the BAE Systems shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, northwestern England. “We are liaising with BAE Systems’ site security and will continue to monitor the situation,” the spokesman added.“Staff, contractors and local residents are being kept informed,” a BAE spokeswoman said.
Barrow-in-Furness makes the new generation of four Dreadnought-class ballistic missile submarines that will eventually replace the Vanguard class vessels which form the basis of the United Kingdom’s Trident nuclear deterrent.
