Large led the nuclear risk assessment team for the raising of "Kursk", which assessed the nuclear hazards and defined the limits and conditions under which the lift and recovery of the submarine in 2001 took place. [http://www.imechewestcumbria.org.uk/events/20032004/kursk.html] Also, he advised the Government of Gibraltar on nuclear safety aspects of the repairs being undertaken to the nuclear propulsion reactor on board HMS "Tireless" (S88) throughout 2000.
