According to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa), the pollution happened because the Royal Navy failed to properly maintain a network of 1,500 pipes at the Royal Naval Armaments Depot at Coulport on Loch Long in Argyll.

The flooding was caused by “shortfalls in maintenance” and resulted in “unnecessary radioactive waste”, Sepa said. Plans to replace the ageing pipes at risk of failing and spreading radioactivity were “sub-optimal”, it warned.

Sepa was concerned about a “lack of asset management” at Coulport, and at the nearby naval base at Faslane, by Helensburgh, the home port for submarines armed with Trident nuclear missiles.

The documents released by Sepa suggested that up to half of the components in use at Coulport were “beyond design life” in 2020.
