Materials Toxicity Clearance in RN Submarines

Abstract

A comprehensive but flexible screening procedure exists to scrutinize each material proposed for use in nuclear submarines. The full procedure is required for only a minority of substances. The provision of the Materials Toxicity Guide (MTG) and the screening procedure are being applied to the new design SSK and the MTG may be modified to accommodate conventional submarine requirements. The MTG may further be modified to include fire hazard assessment.
