Coulport - Pollution & Secrecy

Navy’s legal threats in bid to keep nuclear pollution secret. THE Royal

Navy threatened legal action as part of a fierce, high-level,
behind-the-scenes battle to block publication of information about
radioactive pollution at the Coulport nuclear bomb base on the Clyde. Files
released to The Ferret reveal that over nine days in July and August, the
navy sent 130 emails, held five meetings and made numerous phone calls
urging the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) to keep ­details
of the pollution secret. Naval officials repeatedly warned of legal action,
spoke of the need to “calm some nerves” and said they were “deeply
uncomfortable” with ­information proposed for release.
