THE UK Government were yesterday accused of a Acover-up for keeping quiet about a leaking nuclear reactor in AScotland a?? for two years.

Defence Secretary Philip Hammond revealed an internal leak was found in a submarine test reactor at Dounreay, Caithness, in January 2012.

But Westminster failed to tell the Scottish Government what had happened until minutes before Hammond revealed details to the House of Commons.

The Ministry of Defence alerted environment agency SEPA in the summer of 2012 but told them not to pass the information on.

SNP Westminster defence spokesman Angus Robertson said: a??The MoD knew how damaging this would be. This smells of a cover-up.a??

The reactor was the same type found on Vanguard and Astute-class subs and was used to find potential problems.

So did I but my pals assured me there was some right goers a****st them.

Said it was a bit bizarre getting hit and spat on by some strumpet who'd given them pot-addled Joe Blobs only hours before. But being dedicated military professionals they soon got over that.

Some cracking stories but mibbe too risky for here

I'm gutted I missed it.
