Few people know that convoys carrying nuclear warheads regularly travel along our roads, past our homes and schools. Containing plutonium and other deadly radioactive material, they are transported between submarine bases in Scotland and Berkshire's repair and maintenance facilities at Aldermaston and Burghfield. An accident involving and explosion or fire could cause a partial nuclear blast and result in lethal radiation contaminating the surrounding area.
These convoys carry no warning signs and neither the local authorities or the public are notified. Nukewatch is devoted to exposing the risks posed by these convoys, tracking their movements and safety lapses, and alerting local authorities and communities to the threats.
