	Safety of Tireless (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The loss of coolant from HMS Tireless on 12th May may have had an impact on the integrity of the cladding of the fuel rods in the submarine's reactor.
		HMS Tireless is powered by a pressurised water reactor which is situated within the space available in the submarine, as a result the containment system is not as effective as on land based reactors.
		On the 12th May 2000 the primary coolant circuit in the reactor on HMS Tireless was probably at a pressure of around 170 bar (2,460 psi).

		Nuclear sub was hours from meltdown HMS Tireless: How a 'minor defect' could have caused disaster Richard Norton-Taylor The Guardian October 28, 2000 Only now, more than five months after the Ministry of Defence assured Gibraltarians that it was only a "minor defect", are the full extent and dramatic consequences coming to light.
		HMS Tireless, which has been moored off the Rock since May, was close to a disaster, its nuclear reactor "at the very point of failure", sources have told the Guardian.
		What worries defence and nuclear sources is not what action was taken after the leak on the Tireless was eventually diagnosed - the recall of Britain's entire fleet of strike submarines - but why the initial leak, a symptom of what has turned out to be a much more devastating problem, was not discovered earlier.
