HC Deb 24 February 1958 vol 583 c19W
90. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Air what special training courses are given in dealing with the danger of unfissioned nuclear materials being released if an aircraft carrying nuclear weapons crashes; to whom such courses are given; and when such courses began.

Mr. Ward

For some years selected R.A.F. personnel from a number of branches have received specialised instruction in the procedures required for dealing with hazards associated with nuclear weapons. Courses have been and are being held, both at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment and within the Service.
