Atlantic 12/29/71: The USS Dace (SSN-607) inadvertently discharges 500 gallons of water
used as coolant for its nuclear reactor into the Thames River at New London, Connecticut,
during a routine water transfer between the submarine and the USS Fulton (AS-11).The Navy
says measurements in the area showed 'no increase in radioactivity of the environment' on the following
day and claims the coolant contains a 'very small amount of radioactivity.
