This article KEYWORDS ’ traces India s decision to deploy nuclear-powered submarines, some Nuclear weapons; nuclear armed with nuclear weapons, and the debate in Pakistan on the utility submarines; India; Pakistan; of nuclear-armed submarines and the possible acquisition of nuclear- accidents powered submarines. The article then reviews the global history of submarine accidents, especially those where nuclear-powered sub- marines were involved, and looks in particular at the consequences of a potential naval reactor accident where radioactivity might be released into the environment. Such naval reactor accidents constitute a major but unappreciated challenge associated with the deployment of nuclear submarines in addition to new pathways for escalation to nuclear war that are more widely recognized. Introduction In November 2018, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that an Indian nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered submarine had successfully completed its “first deterrence patrol” (Outlook Web Bureau 2018). In so doing, India has followed the example of the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China, all of whom operate nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed submarines.
