The demonstrator submarine, SWIFTSURE, remains on track to be fully dismantled by the end of 2026. There are six further defueled Pressurised Water Reactor 1 (PWR1) submarines awaiting dismantling in Rosyth.

Further announcements about dismantling the remaining PWR1 submarines will be made at the appropriate time.
