Australian Submarine Agency says Aukus nuclear risk arrangement ‘consistent’ with country’s aims The Australian Submarine Agency has defended the federal government’s agreement to shoulder responsibility for nuclear risks as part of the Aukus pact with the US and the UK. Under a new treaty document tabled in parliament yesterday, Australia will indemnify the US and the UK “against any liability, loss, costs, damage or injury” arising from nuclear risks “connected with the design, manufacture, assembly, transfer, or utilisation” of any of the material and equipment.
