Australia has announced the creation of a dedicated nuclear safety watchdog to oversee the maintenance and operation of the new submarines acquired through the AUKUS alliance.

This significant move comes in response to concerns regarding the safe handling of nuclear-powered submarines and underscores Australia’s commitment to maintaining a high level of safety and security.

The newly established authority will be responsible for setting and enforcing safety standards, conducting regular inspections, and ensuring compliance with international nuclear safety protocols.

This development follows Australia’s decision to partner with the United States and the United Kingdom to acquire a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines as part of the AUKUS pact.

The establishment of this nuclear safety authority aims to address potential safety risks associated with nuclear propulsion technology and enhance transparency in the management of these advanced submarines.

It reflects Australia’s dedication to upholding the highest standards of safety while strengthening its maritime capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region.
