Las Escalas de submarinos nucleares en Gibraltar y Rota, y los Planes de Emergencia Radiológica

Las Escalas de submarinos nucleares en Gibraltar y Rota, y los Planes de Emergencia Radiológica
description
When a British or North American nuclear-powered submarine docks at the southern dock of the port / naval Base of Gibraltar, it is usual for environmental groups in the neighbouring Spanish area to come to the fore protesting this scale and airing the dangers it entails that repeated presence. Regardless of the numbers and given the repetition of these visits, it is worth considering what is the relevance of the Gibraltar facilities, and also those of Rota, for the operation of these platforms and. Moreover, it is key to stress the importance of the submarines – nuclear or not – for the Navies of the countries that possess them, in the context of the current international strategic situation.This article evaluate what happened and what was done when in Gibraltar a submarine of the Royal Navy, the ‘HMS Tireless’, was docked for a year repairing a failure in the primary cooling circuit of its nuclear reactor. The security aspect of the population living a very short distance from the nuclear submarine berths is reflected in the nuclear emergency plan available to Gibraltar and the absence of it on the Spanish side of the Gate. The article will also review the internal nuclear emergency plan available to the US-Spain Rota Base and the absence, once again, of a civil emergency plan for the towns thatsurround it.

Al margen de los números y ante la repetición de dichas visitas, cabe plantearse cuál es la relevancia de las instalaciones gibraltareñas, y también las de Rota, para la operatividad de dichas plataformas y, más aún, cuál es la importancia, dentro de las marinas de guerra de los países que los poseen, de los submarinos –nucleares o no– en el contexto de la actual situación estratégica internacional.Veremos qué pasó y qué se hizo cuando en Gibraltar un submarino de la Royal Navy, el ‘HMS Tireless’, estuvo un año atracado reparando una avería del circuito primario de refrigeración de su reactor nuclear.El aspecto de la seguridad de la población que vive a muy poca distancia de los atraques de submarinos nucleares la veremos reflejada en el Plan de emergencia nuclear del que dispone Gibraltar y la ausencia del mismo en el lado español de la Verja. Igualmente repasaremos el Plan interior de emergencia nuclear con que cuenta la base de Rota y la ausencia, una vez más, de Plan de emergencia civil para las ciudades que la circundan.2020text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7909634(Revista) ISSN 2444-7382Cuadernos de Gibraltar = Gibraltar Reports: Revista Académica sobre la Controversia de Gibraltar = Academic Journal about the Gibraltar Dispute, ISSN 2444-7382, Nº. 4, 2020-2021 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Número 4 (2020-2021))spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
