I am reliably informed that the local police chief was somewhat unimpressed (and bluntly said so) when he found out about this some time afterwards... and any protocols about informing others went out of the window.

So what the local bill going to do when one of those cooks up, drops through the bottom of the boat and boils up plymouth sound? They are as powerless and ill equiped to deal with it as everyone else.

Yes...but what is the point of having contingency plans and what have you, if one of the parties fails to comply at the first hurdle?

What is your source for this scenario, Zero, the Daily Mail ?

Are you referring to this ?
It may be a hint as to what would happen if we had a big problem.

Just so you know there's a bit more to it than just kissing your backside goodbye.

I don't think that would be a problem, you might catch a few of the media panicked for speeding on the "up" side of the roads mentioned. :-)

Nuclear submarines should always have two sources of power for their reactor cooling pumps, one in use, and a backup. These can be Steam, (not available when shut down in harbour), Diesels, The submarines batteries, Shore power, (national grid), plus an emergency system using seawater if the submarine is afloat, this can be supplied from ashore if the submarine is in dry dock. I very much doubt if all these failed, The people who make the most noise about nuclear problems usually have the least knowledge.

I should have said "at least" two cooling options, I know the contingency plan if it goes pear shaped and would not worry about the outcome.

However many safety fall backs are supposed to be in place they're potentially useless if people are not following proper procedures.
The ONR improvement notice linked from the BBC article suggests process was not being followed.
