		About ten years ago I read a Bradford Research Paper entitled Nuclear Weapons Accidents [Ref.1] in which it was explained that probably only about 20% of the accidents come into the public domain as the military try to keep their accidents covered up.
		At Palomares in Spain where a B-52 crashed in 1966 and at Thule, Greenland where another B-52 crashed, plutonium was widely dispersed as a consequence of conventional explosives.
		More recently, in January 1998 the nuclear submarine HMS Torbay was abandoned by an over-tired tugmaster in the River Tamar where it risked going aground which might have caused a failure in the reactor cooling system.

		To do this, the closer we could get to the shore, the better, but the whole of the bay was mined, and eventually we were hemmed in on all sides.
