Locals wanted to know what was in place in the event of a serious nuclear incident at Faslane
Locals in West Dunbartonshire have been reassured that regular testing and safety measures are in place at Faslane in West Dunbartonshire after a blaze broke out on vanguard-class nuclear submarine, HMS Victoria, in November 2022.
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. There are also trained Council Incident Officers , typically senior officers, who would be deployed to support emergency service partners on-scene should an emergency take place.
Councillor Bollan asked: “What does the test consist of and how often is it carried out? When was the last time it was tested?” “There are loads of different exercises but we do have a regular regime over the course of a year with our category one and category two partners.”
