International law liability: Submarine nuclear accident

Dear Defence Nuclear Safety Committee,

Would you please provide any risk assessment about the liability at
international law that would be borne by the United Kingdom, in the
event of a nuclear accident on the high seas (international waters)
caused by a British nuclear-powered submarine or one carrying
nuclear weapons. A short report or executive summary as presented
to a Minister would suffice. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Dr Kaihsu Tai
