Emergency crews rushed to Rolls-Royce's Raynesway site in Derby, which builds the nuclear reactors powering Royal Navy submarines, after alarms sounded shortly after 4pm on Thursday. The company said a suspected leak of a gas used in manufacturing was confined to the main production area. Staff were kept safely inside, nearby Alvaston residents were told to shut windows and doors, and several roads were closed.
