An arm of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) which oversees the UK's nuclear weapons programme has refused to release details of over 100 security incidents it logged over the last five years, prompting accusations of a "cover up".
According to new figures – released to The Ferret after a freedom of information (FoI) request – the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO) has recorded 113 'security concerns' since 2017-18. The DNO said these incidents may have ranged from minor breaches of security policies to the outright loss of information.
But despite claiming that many of the reported incidents would not have "significant ramifications", the organisation refused to provide descriptions of any. It cited national security concerns and fears about damaging the UK's reputation internationally.
