Published figures show that a Category A event occurred at Faslane between January 1 and April 22, 2025.

The Ministry of Defence classifies Category A events as involving an actual or high potential release of radioactivity into the environment.

The ministry withheld further details on national security grounds but said there had been no unsafe releases of radioactive material.

The event was the second Category A case at Faslane within two years, after the highest risk rating was also assigned in 2023; before that, no such incident had occurred there since 2008.

We place the upmost importance on handling radioactive substances safely and securely.
— A spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence said this in relation to a serious nuclear incident at Faslane.
