Nuclear Emergency
The following information has been taken from a booklet entitled ‘What to do in a Nuclear Emergency’ dated July 2005 and has been produced by the Ministry of Defence and Devonport Royal Dockyard Limited (DML) in consultation with South Hams District Council.
This guide tells the public what they need to do in the extremely unlikely event of a nuclear emergency at the Devonport site, as well as an incident occurring on one of the submarine berths in the Sound. The design of nuclear submarines means that an accident involving a submarine nuclear reactor is very unlikely. There is a very low risk of an ‘atom bomb’ type explosion.
If you hear the ‘emergency’ signal (a rising and falling wailing note) from the Naval Base siren, or if you receive warning of a nuclear incident from the Police, remain calm and follow this advice: –
- Go indoors and stay there.
- Close windows and doors.
- Listen to your local radio or TV see overleaf). Follow any instructions you are given. Have a portable radio and spare batteries ready.
- Put out or damp down fires and boilers. Shut down ventilation devices.
- Do not use the telephone unless you urgently need help.
- Do not leave the area unless advised to do so
- Take potassium iodate tablets if told to do so

Annex E Householders Self Help
The following Householder Emergency Plan can be downloaded (PDF)
Household Emergency Plan
Emergencies can affect the County with little or no notice. Being prepared can help reduce the effects on your families’ lives, reduce the need for help from others and enable you to support the vulnerable in your community.
Disruption to essential services such as water and electricity, to regional and national travel and telecoms are all ways an emergency can affect our busy everyday lives.
Complete the following sections and keep the plan in a safe place that all members of your household can easily access:
If you are not involved in an incident but are close by or believe you may be in danger, in most cases the advice is:
GO IN, STAY IN, TUNE IN.
Key information such as road closures are usually reported on local radio.
