POLICE were called out as campaigners staged a demonstration over an “inadequate” safety plan for nuclear submarines visiting Southampton.
Members of the Solent Coalition Against Nuclear Ships (SCANS) donned anti-radiation suits and wore gags in protest at the refusal to allow them to present a critical report to a public meeting of emergency planners.
A report by independent nuclear expert John Large warned safety assessments were “inadequate” to host a nuclear powered submarine after councillors agreed to adopt one of the Royal Navy’s new hunter killer subs, HMS Artful.
SCANS chairman David Hoadley said the safety arrangements for a radiation leak were “not fit for purpose” and a risk to residents.
But council leader Royston Smith insisted the city was “well prepared for major emergencies, including nuclear leaks”.
He said: “Let’s be clear – the chance of a nuclear leak in a submarine happening is around once in every 20,000 years. And if that happens it is highly likely that any leak would be contained in the submarine. “ He added: “Residents should not in any way be concerned that we are not well prepared to protect them in an emergency.”
Police were called out to make sure the demonstration outside St Mary’s Stadium went off peacefully. No arrests were made.

'Independent Nuclear Expert'! Sounds more like a snake oil salesman to me.
Southy I think you will find that the Nazis were National Socialists not capitalists. So Loony Lefties rather than Right Wing Nut jobs. Please don't respond. It's difficult reading your drivel.

Uncle Joe Stalin and Hitler were on the same side at the start of the war.
When that came to an end, then hitler rounded up the commies.

If you’re looking “for stuck up toffs” in society look no further than the current Cabinet.
You won’t find many in the environmental movement.

Which means prove your comment or it is just another of your endless made up bits of misinformation from the Southy ministry of truth.
Nor seek shelter in the refuge of an idiot by claiming do your own research, you have made the claim now prove it, or perhaps like Charles the first you have the divine right of kings and you word has to be the truth no matter what you say.

S.C.A.N.S should be allowed to have the right to put forward there argument and there case, has it is for the council to put there case forward weather it be right or wrong and to give S.C.A.N.S answers.
