Project 645/November-class SSN K-27 was the first Soviet submarine to use lead/bismuth liquid metal-cooled reactor (LMR). K-27 was written off in 1979 after suffering a major radiological accident in 1968, full story here:

First plan to recover the K-27 resting at depth of approx. 30m utilizes foreign heavy-lift floating crane to recover the hull from the seafloor and then transport it using a semi-submersible vessel👇

"The first Alfa-class submarine K-64 became operational in 1970, but suffered a loss-of-coolant accident in 1972 when a leak developed between the secondary water-steam circuit and the primary liquid metal circuit, exposing the primary circuit to a pressure of 70 atm.
@CovertShores @Capt_Navy @RSS_40 @FORONAVAL @TayfunOzberk @SubBrief @USN_Submariner @TheSubHunter1 @EmbersOfSuns @R_P_one 2. As the pressure relief system failed to function, the high pressure caused a rupture of the piping of the primary circuit. Two tons of liquid metal coolant flowed out into the reactor compartment, where it solidified.

#Australia
the #submarines deal is a small facet of a much larger shift towards a NATO-style linkup in the Indo-Pac region. When FR furor calms down, there's a high level of probability that FR&EU will be integrated to #AUKUS, FR is the natural partner given its presence in the region.
Japan's constitutional constraints re military engagements make it a nominal partner, Korea is much less constrained and both will also be integrated in #AUKUS, because geography > short term snafus.

First confirmation that the German defence committee has approved the procurement of (among other things) #Bundeswehr Type 212CD #submarines w Norway, five P-8A Poseidon MPA from US via FMS, two new oilers and three SIGINT hulls to replace Type 704 and Type 423 respectively.

Worth noting here that these projects need to pass both the defence and the budget committees. So technically speaking individual efforts could still get canned. That being said it would be a relatively remarkable statement of disarray for the present government if it happens.
